Thousands of miniature buildings, people and vehicles capture the essence of England's past, present and future.

Set in four acres of gardens there are over 400 models of houses, stately homes, factories, shops, entertainment venues, environmental features, along with railways, vehicles and some well known monuments and landmarks. And not forgetting, of course, 13,000 miniature people who live in the village. Some of the more favourite models include: the house on fire, stonehenge, the model railway, the city, the football stadium (inlcuding the streakers) and the beach and lake, complete with its own naturist beach.
To add an extra dimansion of fun, humour prevails throughout the park. Some very obvious, some very subtle, but one visit is never enough to spot it all. For example; Annie Seedballs - the confectioners shop; Can you spot the man mowing the lawn - he has been mowing the same patch for over 20 years! Can you spot the ghost in the tower - many visitors in a hurry miss it!
