The Avenue of Giants near Phillipsville is a mystical, magical place, and at one time it transported visitors into the world of Tolkien and The Hobbit. Sometime in the 1970s, a replica of Hobbiton was constructed here. Sadly, the place closed down during the 2000s, but you can still explore some of the remnants and be transported into the most epic fantasy story ever told.
