Welcome to Pendon Museum

Pendon recaptures scenes from the English countryside as it was in the 20s and 30s.
We use the models to help visitors to understand more about a past era and a different way of life.

Visitors to Pendon:

  • enjoy an informative and interactive 90 minute tour covering three indoor galleries
  • see some of the finest model landscapes, buildings and trains ever constructed
  • experience a warm and personal welcome from our volunteer staff
  • have access to a small cafĂ© and souvenir shop.

Highly realistic models recall the landscape of the period and trains provide a fascinating record of the railways of the time and how they operated.

Please take a look at the Gallery to sample the fascination of Pendon. There are some great panoramic images.
