Comfortable, sturdy walking shoes or waterproof sneakers with good traction are recommended to wear during the tour. We advise against wearing heels or sandals. Feel free to bring extra shoes specifically for the tour.
Guests are required per contract to attend a full tour of the Hobbiton Movie Set after the ceremony. The guided walking tour is about 1.5 hours/1.25 miles, with uneven paths and a steep hill to Bag End, but rest stops and guide assistance are available for mobility concerns. If you feel you are unable to complete the tour due to health risks or disabilities, please let us know as soon as possible as accessibility options are very limited.
