While Hobbiton is preserved, other Lord of the Rings locations feature decaying set pieces. Near Queenstown, New Zealand, the location for Amon Hen (where Boromir's death was filmed in The Fellowship of the Ring) still contains remnants. Set pieces like the stone archways and the Seeing Seat structure were built amongst the trees in Closeburn Pinetum. Though nature is reclaiming them, and some parts may have been removed, dedicated fans can still find recognizable weathered elements from the film integrated into the forest, offering a subtle link to Middle-earth.
