About
PECORAMA is one of Devon’s leading visitor attractions located high on the hillside above the fishing village of Beer, has long been known as the home of the famous PECO Model Railway Exhibition and the Beer Heights Light Railway. The Exhibition hall displays wonderfully detailed layouts in many gauges of track, with push-button controls enabling children to operate the trains whilst outdoors, a fleet of miniature steam locomotives pull passenger carrying trains on a mile long route through the grounds, over bridges, through steep-sided cuttings and a long, dark tunnel!
A ride on the railway allows visitors to see much of the gardens at Pecorama plus glorious views over Lyme Bay, but the heart of the grounds must be explored on foot. Our Millennium Celebration Garden consists of five very different garden “rooms“. Each is linked by attractive walkways whilst stunning stonework and special water features continually catch the eye. The individual garden names of Sun, Moon, Rainbow, Roof and Moat Garden reflect the nature and colour of the flowers, shrubs and trees to be found in each. Our ‘Wildway’ area with pond, Bug hotel, Zipwire and woodland walk, is a calming place to wander around in all seasons and our four outside play areas are a great place for the younger people to let off steam while you grab a bit to eat in one of our takeaway Kiosks.
PECORAMA is open from Easter until the end of October, Tuesday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm.
