Visit Santa and the Villages of Light at the Model Railway Village

Children can enjoy lots of fun in the indoor and outdoor play areas on site.

Relax and enjoy a cup of coffee/tea in the cafe and browse the wide range of souvenirs in the craft shop.

The newest addition to the Model Village are two mini diggers.

This site seemed so quirky we had to try it. My daughter is 22 and we both loved it! It’s great for kids of all ages. The villages are remarkable. The landscape and flowers are so lovely and the train ride around Clonakilty was informative and fun. Give it a try.

Our family (from 18 months to 69 years old) had a fantastic afternoon at the Model Railway Village. The model towns and train lines are fascinating the addition of the Alien Hunt had the adults (more so than the kids) really enthralled! The cafe and gift shop, indoor and outdoor play areas and train carriages are added bonuses. A trip round Clonakilty on "Choo Choo" the road train, is a must!

This is just adorable seeing the villages/towns in miniature form. Beautifully maintained. We were two adults visiting but would recommend for kids.

Kids absolutely loved it very autism friendly too. Staff are brilliant. Would recommend it to anyone who has not been there yet.
