    Fun fact! The main reason the films were filmed there was that it was the actual place the historical events took place.

    Many sites for LOTR in and around Wellington, just touched on in this video. Of course, Wellington city contaions the studios where the film was actually made and the interior shots were filmed.

    The tree hobbits hit under was artificial, it was a prop put there only for filming purposes and then removed.

    Theres also the site of Rivendell in Kaitoke Regional Park which has some little plaques to commemorate. 2 other spots are (although theres nothing to really see) the quarry off state highway 2 between lower hutt and upper hutt (helms deep) and harcourts park in upper hutt where they shot the orcs pulling down trees.

      Ahhh 🤔 how interesting. I’d love to see the Helms Deep location, thanks for the tip! We wanted to go to Rivendell on the way to the Pinnacles but kind of ran out of time 😅

      ​@@cjexplores Not much to see for helms deep unfortunately. It was a working quarry which they used as the location thats gone back to a working quarry. You would have driven past it on the way to upper hutt. I remember when they were filming. The whole area would be lit up with lights at night.
