I recently spent a couple weeks traveling the North and South islands of New Zealand and I managed to hit almost every filming site from Lord of the Rings!
Here are some shots that I was able to re-create or that lined up with scenes from the movies very nicely.

Sometimes I can't find a building with its name written in big-a*s-bus-sized letters and some people can find the same tree and the same perspective from a movie made 17 years ago.

I look at this and just, wow! I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful country... it's a shame a lot of us don't appreciate the beauty of our home.

Where's Isengard? Good heavens, the whole city just disappeared! Probably for that bypass.

Do you remember those big trees, walking around, destroying everything? Called Ents? Well, you can see that they did a good job.

I *have* been to Glenorchy. (Don't recall Isengard, tho. Obviously I didn't smoke enough "New Zealand Green" that day.)

Presume that was a farmer's land so you couldnt get closer to recreate the shot 100%? Well found though!

Beautiful country. https://www.boredpanda.com/why-to-visit-mt-cook-and-surroundings/ One of the most beautiful places from LOTR in real life is Mount Sunday, aka Edoras. Unfortunately my camera was broken when I was there :/
