Seen the Shire, Mordor, or Rivendell?
Hobbiton and The Shire - Waikato - an easy drive south of Auckland
Mordor, Emyn Muil and Mount Doom - Taupo - transformed from the central North Island's Volcanic Plateau
Chetwood Forest, Rivendell and Dimrill Dale - Nelson - most locations easiest seen by helicopter due to the remoteness of the locations.
Edoras - Canterbury - the central alpine region contains New Zealand's largest peaks and glaciers, with correspondingly stunning scenery. No wonder it was selected as the location for alpine fortresses and fierce Middle-earth battle scenes!
Pelenor Fields - Twizel
Golden Plain - Wanaka
The Dead Marshes - Te Anau
Lothlorien - Queenstown
Fangorn Forest - Milford Sound - on Takaro Road near Te Anau, with it's beautiful beech trees
Misty Mountains - Southern Alps - drive through the Lindis Pass in the central South Island
Fangorn Forest -
Plus, these other locations used in the filming:
In historic Queenstown and Arrowtown you can get really close to the hobbits' journey - float on a raft down the same river as Frodo, bungy jump into it or wade into the Ford of Bruinen.
You won't regret a side trip to the stunning Lake Wanaka and the memorable drive through the golden Cardrona Valley - savour the views of the River Anduin, site of the Pillars of the Argonath and Dimrill Dale.

Nature is a powerful force. Those who seek to subdue nature, never do so permanently.
