We had the magical chance to visit the home of Bilbo Baggins on our honeymoon last November.
When we arrived, we were sure to approach anyone we met (while trying to get driving directions) and simply stating, "Shirrrrrrre. Bagginsssssss." Our query worked.
Bilbo's neighborhood.
The hills of Hobbiton.
Samwise Gamgee's front door and immaculate garden.
Haystacks for all the herbivores of Hobbiton.
The tree atop Bilbo's house, that they reconstructed here for the movie, after shipping it from Asia. Every leaf is nylon and glued on. I have one tucked away for safe keeping.
