SAVE 📌 for a Hobbit adventure on your next trip 🧙 Follow @ameliaspassport for more travel and couple travel inspo 🫶🏼 📅 I’d recommend booking in advance if you’re visiting during peak seasons, we went in Winter and managed to book only a few days before ☀️ Book an early slot if possible as it means there are no groups in front of you! 🏡 You’re part of a tour and there are many options you can book such as tour and lunch, evening banquet tour and in March they even do a middle earth halfling marathon!! 🍻 The Green Dragon is the last stop and you have to try the ale and pies. We could have stayed here for hours - we also had SUCH good weather for winter in June 🧙 Be prepared to share your day with other enthusiasts! We loved our tour guide and met so many other lovely people on our travels 🌎 #hobbitonmovieset #hobbiton #newzealandtravel #lotr
