About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

When scouting for locations for The Lord of the Rings and Hobbit trilogies, scouts for director Peter Jackson came across Alexander Farm, still a working farm, and found their Shire, the home of the Hobbits. After the Lord of the Rings movies, the sets were mostly destroyed. For The Hobbit movies, the sets were rebuilt but made permanent and it is now a fantastic tourist attraction. For fans of the movies, it's amazing to see The Shire, Bilbo and Froto Baggins house and Samwise Gangees Hobbit Hole but even non-fans can appreciate the craftsmanship and surroundings. The rolling hills of the farm and Hobbiton are home to so many flowers and a crazy amount of butterflies! After seeing all of the Hobbit Holes, the tour ends at The Green Dragon pub where you are offered a drink. Movie magic comes to life as you walk along the path at Hobbiton. It's a fantastic movie set and great place to visit. #hobbiton #newzealand #thelordoftherings #thehobbit #movieset #hobbithole #hobbithouse #hobbits Music from https://www.bensound.com/ License number 204507727
