Dogs

We are only able to admit Assistance Dogs into the Model Village. We apologise to other dog-owners for this restriction.

Pushchairs

Although some of the paths through the village are quite narrow, there are routes with adequate space for pushchairs that seat two children side-by-side. There is also space for you to leave them safely to one side.
