You Can Visit These Scenic Film Locations And Relive Your Favorite Movie Moments

Lord of the Rings

As you may know, the entirety of the Lord of The Rings was filmed in New Zealand. The filmmakers did have to utilize CGI in quite a few aspects of the movie, the places that they filmed are still widely recognizable. Take the Argonath Gate, for example. This waterway is called the Kawarau River, and it’s a widely traveled tourist attraction. Die-hard fans can sign up to take rafting tours through the river, and a Lord of the Rings movie memory guide will explain exactly how this scene was shot as you pass through the stone gates.
