Bekonscot Model Village & Railway

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
