The Model Village at the Old New Inn
Beginning in the 1930s, a local hotelier, Mr. Morris, whiled away some of the doldrums of the Great Depression by constructing a scale model (1:9) of Bourton-on-the-Water as a testimony to its architectural charms. This isn't a tiny and cramped display set behind glass -- the model is big enough that you can walk through this near-perfect and most realistic model village.
