Description
Pendon Museum preserves the idyllic rural scene and transport of the 1920s and 30s in a miniature form for future generations to enjoy.
They are an independent, accredited museum run almost entirely by volunteers and funded by visitors and our loyal Friends. We aim to provide an enjoyable and informative experience: for family groups, for those interested in all disciplines of modelling, for those interested in 20th Century rural England, its buildings and its railways.

FOUR VALE WALKS
These short walks in the Vale of White Horse provide an opportunity to explore the countryside modelled at Pendon. Each Walk is designed as a short country walk and not as a tour of buildings modelled at Pendon – remember that the models at Pendon represent the buildings as they were around 1930. The Walks take you past buildings modelled at Pendon and they are referred to in the description in italics.
