West Cork’s very own Hobbit house now open to visitors

Welcome to Lord of the Rings — West Cork style, where an underground hobbit house is now open to visitors.

West Cork’s very own Hobbit house now open to visitors

Built beneath a flower-strewn hill, and accessed by a circular yellow door, the dwelling is based on the home of Bilbo Baggins, one of the main characters in the JRR Tolkien book The Hobbit.

The two-bedroomed furnished Hobbit Hole near the village of Enniskeane has its own fireplace and even boasts a carving of Bilbo Baggins by a local sculptor. Visitors can walk right through the eccentric dwelling which has a rear door opening onto the back of the hill.
