Seven Lord of the Rings locations

This is a super movie nerd post, that you might want to skip on past if you are not all that interested in Lord of the Rings movies.

Pelennor Fields

Pelennor Fields was the largest set for filming in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Ian Hayman, the quirky farmer, led us through our next adventure on the shores of Lake Pukaki.

The clouds lifted enough to reveal a magnificent valley before us.

Wētā Workshop was another of the promised tour visits that I had been looking forward to since I booked this trip!

Mt. Victoria is a beautiful park close to film studios in Wellington and thus a covenient setting for several scenes from Lord of the Rings.

What a great way to celebrate my 55th birthday.
