There are 100's of creative village scenes that will spark your imagination to life as you wander around our beautiful gardens along the walkways. Follow the quiz and don't miss any of them.

Marvel at the many handcrafted models and figures that represent life's rich tapestry and step back in time to those bygone days when life seemed to move at a slower pace, from a Scottish Castle, protected by its ranks of Guardsmen to a tranquil Cornish fishing village. From thatched cottages hidden away to a Tudor village where diminutive residents enjoy a cricket match on the village green. Many new buildings are added annually, along with a working train running through the shopping center of the main village, another in front of the shambles, and a model railway featuring Thomas, Annie, and Clarabel!

As seen on TV, our village and gardens are set into a stunningly beautiful landscaped 2½ acres of carefully tended gardens with paved pathways that provide full access for all of our visitors.
