Bekonscot Model Village & Railway

Warwick Road Beaconsfield, Bucks, HP9 2PL

There is lots going on at Bekonscot over the 2026 season to keep your little explorers entertained. Established in 1929, Bekonscot is the oldest original model village in the world.

Set in 1.5 acres of immaculately manicured gardens and finely detailed model buildings, the village perfectly captures rural English life in the 1930s.

Bekonscot is a great accessible outdoor experience and an opportunity for children to step away from the screen and get curious. Enjoy a ride on our 7 1/4″ narrow gauge light railway, see the 10 scale miles of our Gauge 1 model railway and savour some tasty seasonal treats in our tearoom next time you visit.

Book online at least 48 hours in advance and enjoy 10% off your standard entry price.
