Bekonscot Model Village

Bekonscot Model Village & Railway is the world’s oldest original model village, opening for the first time in 1929. With over 90 years of history, a huge model railway, 1.5 acres of well-kept gardens and finely detailed model buildings Bekonscot is a great day out for everyone.

Stuck in a 1930s-time warp, see England how it used to be, & discover a wonderful little world tucked away from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. Since its opening over 16 million visitors have been captivated by the charm and eccentricity of Roland Callingham’s creation.

Bekonscot continues the traditions established by our founder of welcoming visitors to the village and supporting worthwhile causes. Each year surplus income is distributed to a number of mainly local charities and good causes. To date over £5.5 million has been donated.

Please note: Only assistance dogs are allowed in the village. Bekonscot is a no-smoking site.
