Wimborne Model Town and Gardens

Built over 60 years ago, the superb 1/10th scale models continue to surprise and amaze visitors from all over the world with their superb quality and realism. You can get really up close and even touch the buildings, checking out every minute detail of over 100 shop windows displays. Created to capture the essence of a typical market town of rural England during the 1950s, the model town provides the visitor with a unique experience, which will live long and fondly in the memory.

A full range of refreshments are available from the traditional tea rooms, and bargain hunters enjoy checking out the gift shop which is packed full of unusual and interesting items. Discover the newly designed and built interactive model railway layout including Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.

Wendy Street is a designed play area for our younger visitors. The grown ups can relax and enjoy their cream teas while the children play happily close-by. A recent new addition is the Sunflower Garden Putting Lawn where all age groups can have fun and test their skills on our mini course. And for adults and children alike, there is an outdoor Giant chess board game.
