Set in Beaconsfield, just outside of London we are a popular day attraction for people of all ages.It was opened in 1929 and it’s a great place to bring the family and stomp around like giants! There are six model towns, a huge Gauge 1 model garden railway, ride-on railway, remote-controlled boats, castles, lakes and industries in 1.5 acres of award-winning gardens.It's a great family day out, and it's your chance to be a giant in a miniature land of adventure, hidden away in a 1930s timewarp. It’s a big day out full of really nice small things and we'd love to see you soon! « less

Wow. I have taken my 4 year old boy here 3 times and every time he absolutely loves it. If there was no sign posts you would never know that along this leafy street behind peoples gardens was an amazing model village. This model village really does put all of the rest to shame with the trains the wow factor... More

A good afternoon spent at Bekonskot brought back memories of visits 30 years ago as a child. I remembered being in awe at the detail of the building, the planes and trains - and must admit was still very impressed as a adult. Definitely worth a visit. More

Last summer we took my daughter and 12 year old grandson back to a place I hadn't visited since I was the lad's age. I worried that - in an age of computer games, WII, and other digital distractions - he would find it boringly old-fashioned. But I'm glad to say that he was caught up in the sheer, weird... More

I grew up in West London and visited Bekonscot a lot as a child. The magic is still there and my children, now 14 and 10, still love it. True, the parking can be a pain. But the village has lots to see. The model trains zooming around will always fascinate boys of all ages --and some girls too (me... More
