Famous Filming Location in New Zealand
#traveldiaries #100waysoftravel #newzealand #hiddengem
Castle Hill is the filming location for both "Lord of the Rings" and “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe”.
Castle Hill is located next to Arthur’s Pass and was given its name because the limestone boulders look like a run-down medieval stone castle. There isn't any big castle! The boulders are huge and you will feel tiny. It is amazing to see theae natural wonders. The site is accessible via the highway, there are quite many people in the afternoon. When I was there, I saw school children visiting too! So I recommend coming early in the morning and you can have pictures without the crowd.
Allow 2-3 hours to explore and fully immerse yourself in the beauty.
Castle Hill - Filming location of Narnia!
Castle Hill New Zealand offers a unique hiking experience. The trek is about an hour and is considered moderately easy. The trail takes you through a scenic valley and onto a limestone rock formation, featuring distinctive castle-like boulders.
While the trek is suitable for families with kids, it's essential to note that some sections involve scrambling over rocks and navigating steep inclines. We did it with an infant (baby-carry) and toddler!
