Lord of the Rings Trilogy Grey Havens Environment

Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy.

It takes hundreds of hours to design, sculpt model make, mold, and paint the prototype for each new Middle-earth piece. Whether it be a prop replica, beautiful environment, or iconic character, we treat our collectibles with the same level of care and attention to detail that we bring to our film work.

Upon the western shores, where the land met the boundless sea, lay a realm that marked both a journey’s end and beginning.

This port city, known as Grey Havens, was to be the final destination on this mortal continent for the Elves. Upon hearing the call of the sea, they felt compelled by an instinctual urge to cross the tranquil waters, returning home to the Blessed Realm under the guidance of the Elven Lord and Shipwright Círdan.

Once a vibrant and bustling metropolis, the Grey Havens has since transformed into a serene and hushed landscape, inhabited only by a scant few elves who linger, awaiting their final departure. Yet, despite their dwindling presence, the ethereal beauty of this coastal sanctuary remains untarnished.

This limited edition collectible environment perfectly captures the gracefully carved structures that organically emerge from the embrace of the encircling mountains. Their contours mimic the undulating waves of the ocean they cradle, evoking an atmosphere of calming serenity. From the careful recreation of Elven architecture to the meticulous and lifelike paint application, the tranquillity of this sacred haven and the aura of its ancient grace shines through - a testament to the enduring enchantment left

“It’s an emotional goodbye, but then it’s also quite a satisfying, peaceful, beautiful end to an epic trilogy; I was lucky enough to work on the original bigature for the Grey Havens and It was one of the first projects I worked on at Wētā Workshop. It was really useful to have Alan Lee’s beautiful drawings to use as a reference tool, especially when it came to the pattern work and fine detailing on buildings.”
