Helm's Deep (Dry Creek Quarry)
DonMartini (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: DonMartini.
The Dry Creek Quarry on Hayward's Hill Road was used as the setting for Helm's Deep - the scene of The Two Towers' climactic battle. This fortification was the largest and most detailed set from The Lord of the Rings. The stunning set includes details right down to paving stones and statues. Filming of the Helm's Deep scenes took place at night over several weeks in an arduous schedule that exhausted actors and crew.

Isengard (Harcourt Park)
Lord of the Rings: Harcourt Park, Akatarawa Road, Upper Hutt, 20 miles north of Wellington, became’ Isengard’, the realm of the evil Saruman (Christopher Lee), who has an army of Orcs use ropes to pull down trees to fuel his forge (don’t worry, they were old trees shipped in and erected for the movie). In June 2002, the remains of the tree, with bolts still embedded, could still be seen.

Hobbiton (Lord of the Rings town)
Matamata, which now proudly advertises itself as Hobbiton, has a Tourist Information Centre at 45 Broadway. You can visit what remains of the Hobbiton set (on guided tours only) with Rings Scenic Tours Ltd.

Rivendell (Kaitoke Regional Park)
In Kaitoke Regional Park, about 8 miles from Upper Hutt City, the elvish realm ‘Rivendell’ from Lord of the Rings was built. This is where Frodo recovers from his wound and the Fellowship is formed. The ‘Silverlode River’ and Galadriel’s swan-boat also filmed here. The ‘Great River Anduin’ is the Hutt River between Moonshine Bridge and Poets Park.

Lothlorien (Gardens of Fernside Lodge)
Lord of the Rings: the woods of ‘Lothlorien’, where Frodo gets help and advice from elf queen Galadriel (Cate Blanchett), are the gardens of Fernside Lodge, a homestead inn about two miles from Featherston, Wairarapa, about 40 miles east of Wellington. Here you can see the White Bridge.

Energetikas

Tranmere Oil Terminal

Reservoir Dogs breakfast location
Pat and Lorraine's, 4720 Eagle Rock Boulevard, Eagle Rock, northeast of downtown LA, which is where the Dogs gather to discuss Madonna lyrics and the ethics of tipping.

Nigerian oil field?
There are a number of these conspicuously cleared spots with lonely puffs of abnormal clouds hovering above. Seems like it would be some kind of manufacturing for sure. The remote nature, odd roads, lack of heavy arterials, and the nature of the Niger River Delta leads me to suspect that these are oil fields, part of the hotly contested Nigerian oil industry, the instability of which has not helped global oil prices lately.

Monrovia Central Prison

Butinge Oil Terminal
Owned by Lithuanian company Mažeikių Nafta, it is the only oil terminal in the Baltic states.

Whiddy Island Oil Terminal
