Yes indeed this is the actual shire from the film Lord of the Rings. It was one of the tours I went on in Matamata.

I hope to visit this place again in September.

Man, NZ's gotta be one of the most beautiful places on earth. What a lovely shot, and (taking away the hobbit holes) so totally typical of that area :)

I'm very tempted to enter this in the free study. But i've gotten so many comments perhaps not.

I'm insanely jealous that you got to go there! Was it as magical as I think it would be? I love the long flowing shadow of the tree.
