Babbacombe Model Village

There are 425 tiny buildings, inhabited by 13,160 even tinier people, on display at this Lilliputian attraction. The epitome of English eccentricity, settings include a small-scale Stonehenge, a football stadium, a beach (complete with nude sunbathers), an animated circus, a castle (under attack from a fire-breathing dragon) and a thatched village where firefighters are tackling a blaze. It's bizarre but brilliant.

The imagination and attention to detail is remarkable, with Lilliputian tableaux that are in turns witty and unnerving. Check to see whether its seasonal night-time illuminations have resumed – think Piccadilly Circus, complete with flashing banner ads.
