Hobbiton
The set of Hobbiton for the Lord of the Rings was mostly foam and was removed from the farm in New Zealand. But for the Hobbit movies, the set was recreated with the intention on making it into an attraction as a partnership with WETA and the owners.
And it is beautiful. If you ever have the chance, go. I was there before the Green Dragon was open, so I need to go back to have a proper pint. It is so much fun to watch scenes from these movies and think, "I've been there."
There is a whole industry, books and tours and web-pages, dedicated to visiting the locations used in the LOTR and Hobbit movies. Aside from Hobbiton, the rest are just they way they were, and are ordinary places. The flight to Buckleberry ford is a city park. Helms Deep is a quarry.
