Bekonscot Model Village & Railway

This was a lovely full morning activity for our family, including 2 year old and baby. The village captures children's imagination and if beautifully set out. The cafe is small but has a lovely basic range on offer. There is also outside seating. The little ride on train is great fun for little ones. This is a great multi-generational activity.

Highly recommend! Cant believe it will nearly be 100 years since opening, its such a delight and to look at all the little figurines up to their tricks or having little disasters or time out 😂 very amusing and beautifully done and maintained, railway ride is cute too! 🚂

The Bekonscot model village is the oldest miniature village in the world, it's about 1.5hrs drive from London. The place is simply stunning and a very different experience, the staff were so lovely as well. There is a lovely play area for the children also. They also have a restaurant/dine in area with great food. Our kids aged 11 and 8 throughly enjoyed it.

Incredible attraction, attention to detail very impressive. Lovely touches including Christmas decorations (mini holly wreaths on doors, Christmas trees and lights). Running miniature railways including a Christmas train and a train with a live camera feed going round. Interesting board showing the history of the attraction in pictures including royal visits, part way around. Was surprised by the sheer size of the village! Lovely features including circus, zoo, guides and boys brigades. Churches very detailed including the stained glass windows. Very good names for the shops. Only thing that was disappointing was the condensation on the inside of the windows which limited the view of some of the internal displays.

Always love a visit here - the attention to detail and little jokes built into the shopfronts are brilliant, and we spot something new every time we go. Has a good little playground, and the ride in train and 'shrunken' dressing up area are always a hit. NB The cafe is very expensive; there are picnic benches under an outdoor canopy.

A family day out, had everything within it, miniature buildings, mini train ride, children park, small cafe, good size seating areas, fun magic show; had lovely day 😀 Will definitely visit again in spring/ summer...

Absolutely love this model village. We went here on the drive home to pop in as we went when we were kids (now 30) and we enjoyed it just as much. It also brought back alot of memories for my parents and my dad spent the most time walking around and taking photos out of all of us (big kid at heart). We even took a ride on the little train for 5 minutes. Definitely a place for all ages and a fun day out. It also has a cafe and a little exhibition room which was great.

My father took me here after we couldn’t decide what to do. I hadn’t heard the Model Village before but I am pleased to say that this was just what I was looking for. Th attention to detail in all the models and the little buildings made you feel almost as if you had travelled back in time 1920s Great Britain. I was surprised in just how old the Model Railway was but it has held up. My only real issue was it was a little bit busy and due to the narrowness of the walkways things did get a bit crampt but if you go at the right time or get in early it wouldn’t be a issue. Would recommend if ever you want to feel like a giant walking around😵‍💫
