Part 4/9:
Our next destination took us to Hobbiton, approximately 15 minutes from Hamilton. This magical movie set from The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films offers guided tours for fans and new visitors alike. The attention to detail in the set is spellbinding, making it feel as if you’ve stepped directly into a fantasy realm. Walking through the Shire and exploring the Hobbit homes was an unforgettable experience.
4. Three Sisters: A Unique Coastal Landscape
About 2.5 hours from Hamilton, Three Sisters is a dramatic beach area characterized by striking black sand and noteworthy sea stacks. We trekked through muddy riverbanks to reach the beach, where the view was greatly enhanced by the sunset. The fascinating rock formation known as Elephant Rock adds to the area's distinct beauty.
