Advantages: Amazing detail and variety

Disadvantages: Steep steps

This model village is amazing and if you are expecting a few metres square of little models you could look at in ten minutes then think again. It covers a huge area and you follow around a circuit to enable you to see it all, including many things at different angles. There are a lot of steep steps so it might be difficult with a pushchair or buggy.

The shear variety of things to see is astonishing. It is more like a large town than a village, but still with village charm. There is a train weaving its way through the landscape, a lake, football stadium, industrial area and many other things you might not expect as well as the usual assortment of houses, churches etc. There is also lots of lovely greenery courtesy of the mini gardeners.

There is something for all ages and interests and you could spend two or three hours looking around at what all the little people are doing!

Included in the ticket is a return visit at night when you can see the whole village lit up, including inside all the houses which gives it a whole new perspective. There was also an alien laser show which might be enjoyed by younger visiters but wasn't all that spectacular after the model village.

Summary: Worth a return visit at night to see it in a new light
