Holidays in Poole – Wimborne Model Town
Designed and built just after the Second World War, Wimborne Model Town is just that – a 1/10th scale model of Wimborne Town. Amazing visitors from all over the world, Wimborne Model Town is a fascinating day out for all the family.
The original idea for the town was developed in the 1940’s and it first opened its doors to the public in 1951, becoming an instant hit with all who visited. Each of the many buildings was built as an exact replica of the same building at the time. All of the contents are the same. Get down to the right level and take a peep into the butchers, followed by a little look into the ironmongers and bakers. One of the most fascinating areas is definitely the model of the Minster Church. Both inside and out, it is a perfect replica and just shows what can be done with both time and patience!
Unfortunately, the site suffered a decline in the 1980’s when the site was bought by a Property Developer and abandoned. It became a home to vandals and a lot of the buildings were ruined. Due to the local public, a petition was drafted and eventually, after a long process, Wimborne Model Town was handed over the people of Wimborne, with the agreement that it would be moved to another site. Donated kindly by Sir Michael Hanham, the current site of the model town was opened in 1991, to much delight of both local residents and visitors.
Somewhere to have a break is always welcomed in a popular attraction, and Wimborne Model Town provides just that. Located adjacent to Wendy Street –a safe play area for the younger members of the family – is a beautiful tea room. With local cakes and delicacies on offer, ‘a five minute break’ may turn out to be a little bit longer!
Throughout the year at the model town there are several events on show. From the special ‘Candlelight Evenings’ where the model village is turned into a magical arena by candlelight to the famous ‘Thomas The Tank Engine Storytelling’ event, each event is carried out superbly for all the family to enjoy.
A relaxing evening is often wanted after a day out at Wimborne Model Town – it may be fun for all the family, but with so much to see, it can be somewhat tiring! So rather than hunt around for the perfect accommodation, simply make a reservation at Rockley Park and you won’t be disappointed. With so much to do on site and near by (there’s an idyllic beach only moments away and attractions are plentiful and within a short distance), you may find you spend more and more time on the Park as the holiday goes on!
Visiting Wimborne Model Town is always highly recommended by the local residents – which is a sure sign for any attraction that it must be a good one. Walking through the model town takes each visitor back to the 1950’s and provides an insight into the way of life back then. Including activities for all the family, Wimborne Model Town is a great day out for all the family and shouldn’t be missed.
