Spotted in Arrowtown. A great base for exploring lots of great Lord of the Rings filming locations.

The vast Canterbury High Country is an enormous landscape of braided rivers, sheep stations and glacially carved valleys lying in the shadow of the Southern Alps of New Zealand.

Christchurch was the last destination on our NZ trip and adding to the atmosphere were the city's heritage trams, which gently shuttle folk around and make the whole place feel warmer.

Even under grey skies Lake Pukaki's turquoise colour looked almost unreal. This is one of the best places to view Aoraki/Mount Cook, weather permitting. 😁

A wonderful surprise in Christchurch was discovering two sculptures by English artist Antony Gormley. The first stands in the Avon River and the second within the nearby Arts Centre.

At Deer Park Heights there are 7 LOTR filming locations. These are where Aragorn tumbled from a cliff, where Hama met his unfortunate end and the Rohirrim crossing the plains of Rohan.

Sunset Point in Hokitika is a crazy looking beach complete with shipwrecked boat and beach art made from driftwood.

The final leg of our New Zealand odyssey was upon us. Rising from the Rangitata Valley amongst snow-capped mountains, Mount Sunday was the most spectacular location on our trip.

From dizzy heights of the Crown Range the road plunges down towards Queenstown with a famous zig-zag section with expansive views toward Lake Hayes and the Remarkables mountain range.

The Ford of Bruinen is such an iconic scene from Lord of the Rings movies that you must visit the beautiful Arrow River, where it was shot when you visit Arrowtown.

The River Avon winds through Christchurch's centre beneath mature trees, while elegant Edwardian punts drift lazily along the water carrying tourists and locals alike.

Sitting on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown has reinvented itself from a nineteenth-century gold rush settlement into New Zealand's go-to adventure hotspot.

Mount Sunday, better known to most people as the kingdom fortress of Edoras from The Lord of the Rings. The final half-hour drive along a dusty gravel road is well worth the huge payoff.

One of the stars of Deer Park Heights, a working farm high above Queenstown that has become famous for both its scenery and its role in The Lord of the Rings films.
