Looking at the beautiful pictures, it may seem like a cave made by people hundreds of years ago. Yes, it is a man made cave but it is not a very long time ago structure. It is called Hobbiton Village (Hobbiton Village) or the movie set of Hobbiton. Hobbiton Village is located in Waikato, New Zealand. A movie set created by famous film director Peter Jackson. It is now a very popular tourist attraction.
The movie set of Hobbiton was built in a very important area. It was used for the filming of “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy and The Hobbiton film series. This set was made from a family farm run by the Alexander family. The farm was located 8 km west of Hinuera and 10 km south west of Matamata. The Alexander family came to this 1200 acre grassland in 1978. Since then the land has been a sheep and cow-calf farm. There were then 13,000 sheep and 300 Angus beef cattle. The main income of this farm was from sheep and beef and wool.
When Peter Jackson was looking for a convenient location to make his famous movie The Lord of the Rings film trilogy series, he found this Alexander family farm. To him this place seemed like old England in a chill. After an agreement with the Alexander family, a part of the farm was converted into a well-equipped cave in 1999.
The New Zealand Army brought in heavy machinery to build a 1.5 km road that was to be connected to the nearby highway. After that 37 holes were made which were later converted into well-equipped caves. After that, wild bushes and gardens were created there as described in the movie. A bridge, a mill and a tavern were built. Generators are installed for electricity. Swarage is arranged. Panshala and milled rice are made from wild grasses grown on the farm.
