A very cleverly made replica of the whole town in minature. The churches played hymns which was charming. I was very impressed with how well it was made. It perhaps needed some more tasteful model cars as it spoiled the quality of the houses. More

this was very poor, when built in 1937 can see the appeal, rather lacking now More

Although I'm not blown away by the whole model village concept in general, we did think this one was good. Looking at some of the pictures we took at 'street level' you would not tell it was a model at all! They even have a model of the model village, in the model village!! More

Did not take more than 20 minutes to go around, which for the price doesn't seem like much. It is very well done though. More

What superb modelling, but first walk round the real village to understand what this is all about. Not much room to walk about if it's busy! More

I can't understand the negative aspects of other reviewers,it was a lovely site, with really thoughful planting and modelling.If it look 15 mins to view it must be that reviewers have the attention span of a knat. Obviously being a model village, it isn't massive, I reckon a small child could easily spend up to an hour looking round in... More

My 3year old enjoyed it, but had to carry my baby as no pushchairs allowed. It filled in 15min, but expensive for what it is & if you have to pay for a family of four. Don't waste your.money. More
