2 Best Sights in Bourton-on-the-Water, Bath and the Cotswolds

Cotswold Motoring Museum & Toy Collection

Housed in an old mill and marked by a topiary vintage Mini car, this museum has seven rooms crammed to the rafters with more than 30 shiny vintage and classic cars, delightful caravans from the 1920s and 1960s, ancient motorbikes and bicycles, road signs from past times, and a shepherd's hut on wheels. If this and the assortment of motoring memorabilia is not enough, there are also children's toys, pedal cars, models, and board games.

Model Village

Built in 1937, this knee-high model of Bourton-on-the-Water took five years to complete. It is the only model village to have been given special historical status by English Heritage. As you walk down its tiny lanes, you'll see how little has changed over the past decades. The small exhibition at Miniature World shows miniature scenes and rooms; some you can make come to life. Particularly entertaining is the model village within the model village, which, much like an infinity mirror, is perpetuated to an increasingly smaller scale.
