		This is not just a quirky folly (although where else but England could one find such a thing?!) but an obsessive recreation of vintage buses, steam trains, telephone kiosks and villages across 2 acres of gardens.
		Stuck in a 1930s timewarp, to Bekonscot’s 14 million visitors it represents everything that makes England, England.

		Bekonscot began as a hobby for Roland Callingham who up until 1910 lived in Ascot, when he moved to Beaconsfield and in the mid 1920's bought some parcels of land and began to build a few model houses etc. A friend (James Shilcock) added a model railway.
		Roland later named the village Bekonscot, Bekon (Beech Trees) from Beaconsfield and Scot from Ascot where he used to live.
		When the village was first opened to the public it was free to view, but was invited to donate to charities and even though now admission is charged, over £1.2 million has been given to charity and since the 1930's over 12 million visitors including the Royal Family, have enjoyed walking around the village.

		Yo Tim - I first went to Bekonscot when I was about ten years old, and now I'm five years short of my pension.
		I urge all visitors to the UK to take a day to go see Bekonscot - not a spit and a f**t away from the north western side of the London circular parking lot known as the M25...
		One of the joys (and headaches for staff) of Bekonscot is that tracks run under, along, and very adjacent to main footpaths, causing many accidents.

		It was built after WW2 to commemorate a Dutch officer killed in the conflict, and is right up to date an modern.
		Bekonscot, OTOH, has a million tons of old wordl British charm about it that is very endearing - the architecture and the trains are right out of the 'Famous Five' books I used to read as a child.
		We were not exactly poor, but those books kept us warm ALL evening, if you get my drift.
