Arrowtown is a small town near Queenstown used for several key scenes in “The Lord of the Rings” filming. Visitors will recognize the Arrow River as the Ford of Bruinen, where Arwen created a flood to deter the Ringwraiths. A short walk to nearby Wilcox Green was also the filming location for Gladden Fields, where the One Ring was originally lost. The area is compact and replete with natural beauty, making it perfect for fans of the series who want to feel as though they’re walking around Middle-earth itself without a remote excursion.
