Gandalf and Frodo drove past in the cart beside this tree and arrived at Hobbiton. (More Images...)

A few color markers showed the place where the young Hobbits met Gandalf and asked for his fireworks. (More Images...)

The photo board showed us where the movie set had been built during the filming. (More Images...)

A pub, market, water mill, double arch bridge and crop field were created on the opposite bank of the pond. (More Images...)

The bridge beside the water mill
The bridge was built over there. Gandalf drove over the bridge and came to Bilbo's house.

Polystyrene rock, a piece of the bridge.

This photo was taken from the opposite side of the pond.

Dragon shaped fireworks, which Marry and Pippin had fired in fun during the party, flew off in the direction, the man is pointing in. (More Images...)

The movie set had been returned to its natural state. However, there were lots of photo boards all around Hobbiton showing how each place looked during filming. So I could compare those photos with the actual sights. It was really fun!

Sam's new house after getting married, its now completely returned to its natural state. There was just bushes right there. (More Images...)

The hole with a white chimney in the center was maybe Sam's house before leaving Hobbiton with Frodo....
