Hobbiton is a Real Village You Need to Cross off your Bucket List (Photos)
Site construction started in March 1999 and filming commenced in December that year, continuing for three months. The set was rebuilt in 2011 for the feature films “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug”, and “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.” However, the film crew didn’t destroy and disassemble the whole village after the filming was over, instead it now exists as a permanent attraction complete with hobbit holes, gardens, bridge, Mill, and The Green Dragon Inn.
