Lord of the Rings - Bag End Cross Section

For the forth cross-section in my ongoing series of Middle-Earth locations I really wanted to do Bag End. Arguable the most important location of both the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit books, and films. It's where everything starts and ends for both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.

During the research phase for this image it was amazing to see how many rooms Bad End actually consists of. I chose only to feature rooms that can be seen in the film trilogies. It was a balancing act juggling how much of the exterior vs. interior to show whilst retaining the iconic look of Bag End.

Check out the other three in the series so far here:
