Babbacombe Model Village

Become a giant in a quirky miniature world

Babbacombe Model Village

Babbacombe Model Village is a magical world in miniature, with more than 400 knee-high buildings and 13,000 tiny people.

Many of the 400 model scenes dotted around the hillside gardens are animated. Expect a blazing thatched cottage, scantily clad sunbathers, a miniature Stonehenge and a castle complete with fire-breathing dragon.

It’s all done with wit, charm, and a fair few puns. Look out for the village’s tradespeople: Gardening Services from Ben Dover, Lighting Specialist, A. Glow; Clocksmith Justin Thyme and Car Repairs with Andy Brake, to name a few.
