Located just minutes from Mandurah, Abingdon Miniature Village is a wonderful day out for everyone offering beautiful gardens and the miniature village of Abingdon. 

After 4 years of planning and development Abingdon Miniature Village in Mandurah opened to the public on 1st March 2003, and has proved to be an enchanted wonderland for adults & children alike. Although developed  particularly for seniors, it appears that there is something special for all of the family.

Abingdon Miniature Village is named after the town of Abingdon in Oxfordshire, 10 kms south of Oxford on the River Thames and is the oldest continually inhabited town in the UK. Buildings such as the Abingdon County Hall, Church of St Nic’s and Old Anchor Inn pub have been meticulously reproduced in miniature

Our gardens extend over 2 acres and were designed to be the setting for displaying our miniature models. They contain over 4000 plants of 300 different species and varieties. Conifers have been extensively used due to their many varied sizes, form and colours. Continuous clipping, at least weekly during summer, of the plants is required to keep them in proportion to the models. The dwarf varieties that are used in the gardens of the models will eventually grow too large for the purpose and be moved to other areas in the gardens

There are over 35 individual buildings from all over the UK depicting the different architectural styles from 12th century onwards. Well known buildings such as Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Red Lion Pub, and the traditional Village Green are all featured..

The buildings and all of their components are hand crafted on site, some of the larger and more intricate buildings taking over 600 hours to complete.

Our miniature steam train winds its way around the ornamental lake and is activated by an electronic eye on the bridge.

Amongst the model settings are dozens of miniature figures. Some are playing cricket on the Village Green, enjoying a pint at the Red Lion, attending the wedding ceremony at St Mary’s Church and many others. The figures are all hand made and painted, requiring repainting every 6 – 12 months. New figures are continually added to make our settings more life like and add a touch of humour.
