In New Zealand
Amon Hen is only 4 km away from the land of Ithilien.
In the second movie Ithilien is where Faramir and his rangers ambushed the men of Harad.

| here Faramir stood and wondered about the future of Gondor |
This was one of the coolest locations, because you could visit and walk the actual battlegrounds where Faramir's men fought the men of Harad and defeated an Oliphant.

 |
| we walked right through where the battle took place |
You can also see the cliff from where Frodo, Sam and Smeagol watched the battle unfold. Fortunatley a walking path goes right past their hiding spot, so you can share the view they had.
 |
| up on this cliff the Hobbits watched the battle |
The view from the cliff is amazing: You can see the entire battle grounds and with only a little imagination, you can see the men of Harad and their mighty oliphants.

Still not enough, following said walking track a little longer you come upon the place where Smeagol catched some fish for the Hobbitses.
