The Model Village
A one-ninth scale replica of the beautiful village of Bourton on the Water, built in local Cotswold stone, this is the only Grade II listed Model Village in the Country.
First opened to the public in 1937 the Model Village offers a miniature view of Bourton – “The Venice of the Cotswolds”.
In the Model Village you become a giant as you tower above the miniature stone houses.
The tiny gardens are landscaped to be as realistic as possible using alpines, miniature conifers, scale garden furniture and our now famous “bonsai” mature trees and shrubs.
All the historic building and bridges from the heart of the village are here, listen to the choirs singing in the churches, walk alongside the River Windrush, investigate the local shops and find the model of the Model Village!
