Bourton-on-the-Water Model Village.

Afternoon All,

I'm not sure whether the Model Village at Bourton-n-the-Water counts as heritage, but as it was opened in 1937 and is therefore not far short of being 80 years old, so that sounds pretty much like heritage to me!

Anyway, I went there whilst on holiday in The Cotswolds and have put a few pictures on Flickr; there will be more to come in due course, but if anyone would like to see those on there already, this is the link to The Cotswolds page and they're in there :

Hope that they are of interest.

 

If anyone is interested to have a look, I have just added ten more shots of the Bourton-on-the-Water Model Village to my Flickr site. This sis the first one in the Photostream :

Hope they're of interest.

 

Another model village worth a visit is Beconscot at Beconsfield in Buckinghamshire (M40 J2).

It's the progenitor of Bourton on the Water and has the advantage of a huge Gauge 1 model railway running throughout. I've no current photos, but used to take my kids there regularly, when they were small.

It looked very good on Midsomer Murders!
