I recently spent a couple weeks traveling the North and South islands of New Zealand and I managed to hit almost every filming site from Lord of the Rings!

Here are some shots that I was able to re-create or that lined up with scenes from the movies very nicely.

Sometimes I can't find a building with its name written in big-ass-bus-sized letters and some people can find the same tree and the same perspective from a movie made 17 years ago.

I think the tree has "Frodo was here" carved somewhere...

Where's Isengard? Good heavens, the whole city just disappeared! Probably for that bypass.
