A Middle-earth journal
Durham University doctoral student Danielle Smith is undertaking a project into the experiences of tourists to mythical and fantastic locations, through two case studies- the landscapes of New Zealand/ Middle-earth, and Arthurian sites in the South West of Britain.
As part of her PhD fieldwork she spent 6 months touring the North and South Islands of New Zealand. You can read her Middle-earth journal in which she describes her experiences of visiting some of the film sites, meeting some the equine stars of the movies and much more.

It sounds like she had great fun! I would love to do a course like that… i would get to travel to New Zealand!
Beautiful photos and great descriptions. I wanted to be there so much. What a wonderful journey. She did a great job.
