Film director Peter Jackson made the three Lord of the Rings lms (from JRR Tolkien’s books) in New Zealand. It was an enormous project which took eighteen months to lm. Jackson had a fantastic team to design and build the towns from Tolkien’s descriptions, but when lming nished they didn’t keep them. The only one they kept was Hobbiton, so we went to see that. It was a village for very small people, with houses inside a hill. Another place in the book was Minas Tirith, an ancient city on a hill with a castle at the top. It had streets on seven levels, with walls to protect the city. The model for this fantasy city was a real place: Mont Saint-Michel, a tiny rocky island on the coast of north-west France. Mont Saint-Michel rst had a church in the 8th century, then houses for shermen and farmers. Now there are also shops, restaurants, hotels and four museums. The streets are tiny and there are 900 steps up to St Michael’s church at the top
