Enjoy a visit to the West Cork Model Railway Village - the first of its kind
in Ireland. Experience the sights and sounds of life in West Cork during the 1940's.
Easy to find. Situated beside picturesque Clonakilty Bay. The Model Village depicts in
miniature, life and industry in West Cork as they were 50 years ago. The theme is enhanced
by the miniature working railway which depicts the long closed West Cork Railway.
Many of the industrial buildings, which are reconstructed in the village had their own
system of power generation during the ear e.g. mill wheels etc. The recreation of these
elements is of educational and visual interest.
The station building displays mounted exhibits of the railway and the industries which
once linked up six West Cork towns, Bandon, Clonakility, Kinsale,
Dunmanway, Bantry, Skibbereen all of which will be reconstructed in miniature on a scale of 1:24
when the village is complete.
