That was so good.,, why do I wish I lived there... I reckon I’d have a happy little life in Merrivale 😂

Girl on the car bonnet in the showroom gives a whole new meaning to the term dizzy blonde (no offense intended). Last time I went in the model village was about 20 years ago, still recognise some parts, though a lot is new to me. Great vlog.

I remember this when I was a child and we always went late evening when it was lit up. By the way the “seesaw” in the medieval scene was a ducking stool where they tried witches.

We lived in Brampton for 3 years in the 90s and returned to show our granddaughter many sights in 2022. Did not know about this model village. My husband has a KZfaq channel ONEPETITESTREET based on models that he creates. You have shown us so many places that we need to see. We shall return. Thanks for sharing. You do a marvelous job. Your American fans from Texas.

This is now on our list of places to visit when we are in Great Yarmouth......thanks Tim

Amazing detail, maybe Frank needs to add a miniature Tim & Gaby.

I know my other half would never be out of the penny arcade as he loves all the old penny arcade machines.

Congratulations on the 25,000 subscribers 🏆🏆🏆

This brings back childhood memories always went into here every time I was on holiday with my family and still go to this day as an adult never get bored of seeing inside and I hope to visit with in the next few weeks on my holidays.

Many many years ago Great Yarmouth had a fabrication yard that constructed offshore gas/oil platforms. I got sent up to Great Yarmouth to work there for a while. My employer booked me into the Carlton Hotel. During my stay the weather was atrocious & the curtains in the hotel were blowing inward at 45 degrees. It was freezing in the hotel. The best thing of my time was a visit to this model village which was absolutely brilliant even then. It's even better now. Thanks so much for this brilliant video (& all of your other videos).

Heyyyyy I came here as a kid with my grandparents forgot all about this place

Favourite video now, I love model railways, and the golf course

Been there a few times. When I was a kid I remember seeing Terry Wogan on the TV through a window in one of the model houses. Similar to the one on fire 😂

Always went in the model village when I was a kid. Happy memories.

I remember visiting Merrivale as a child over 60 years ago wonderful memories of my childhood, still like to visit model villages when I get the chance

Thank you Tim for that interesting tour ,there's more to it than you think. Very kind of Frank to let you do this .

Happy memories as a child, yes I did maypole dancing in st. Ives, Cambs.

the see-saw is a witch being dunked. thanks for posting

that village is older than me and I,m mid 50 LOL we went every time we was on holiday

Looks a fun visit , so well done.Thanks for sharing 👍

AWESOME a word very over used but not in this case A Truly Wonderful Model Village thank you so very much for sharing . Take Care Peace

Nice to c they have some new things in there will have to take the boy's back there this year

And kids say they have no entertainment.I would love to have had these things to seein my visits to Yarmouth back in the day

Its no wonder you have been chosen the best you tube presenter. I agree 😊😊.

I went to this place as a kid and I LOVED it!

Omg, how have I never been in there?! It's the cutest thing ever!!!

I've just watched your video on merrivale model village, for the third time, your video's are brilliant and always give me a lift, I will be visiting there this summer, having never been in there, thank you again, Chris

I saw you from the little peep holes at the start. I'm a big fan.

A great place to visit. Last time was there was in 2012 when I was on holiday with my friend who was with me and making his first visit to Great Yarmouth. He like it mainly watch the model trains.

Wow, this place looks brilliant; the models are great and I don’t know if my younger son would ever leave that penny arcade! Thanks for showing us around

fantastic model village, went years ago the kids loved it . Thanks for the memories 😮xxx

Please come back again my parents are the new owners and tonnes of hard effort has been put in the the village it would be amazing for you to come and see the difference thank you

Thanks tim for the happy memories went there a good few years ago with my mum greatly enjoyed it

Loved the video. At 16:05 the model of a woman being dunked into water is called a ducking stool. It was used to punish disorderly women and dishonest tradesmen; a way to humiliate the wayward. Before that it was also used to ascertain whether or not a suspect was a witch.

Thanks for sharing a very nice miniature town tour!

Hi Tim ! Loved this so many memories. Thankyou for sharing with us as always love Tracey 💕 Xxxx

What a great place, wish I lived nearer so I could come and play.

This trip made my day. I really like it. Viva Forever! Thank you. : )

Beautiful,even Banksy paid a visit! Lol

It’s a brilliant model village. The attention to detail combined with the great sense of humour that’s gone into it is just amazing and it’s regularly updated too. Well worth a visit every time you’re in Great Yarmouth - we loved it 😀👍🏼

In all the years going to Yarmouth (and probably because we had little money back in the day) we never visited the Model Village. It was very cool of Frank letting you film around what looks like a very enclosed area and many thanks to your good self in showcasing this part of Yarmouth. And a big congratulations on hitting 25k subs. Well deserved.

Hi Tim, this is great, what a good idea to show us this, the last time I was here was as a child in the 60s when I was growing up in Great Yarmouth, be great if you could do another video at night. Congrats for the article in the Yarmouth Mercury, a friend of still living in Great Yarmouth sent it to me , and 25,000 subscribers now , wow ! You make my day .

My family hate it because they know that every time we go to Yarmouth I want to visit Merrivale. One highlight on a visit was while watching it run past, it derailed and as we tried to warn a staff member, another heading the other way run into the derailed train causing absolute chaos

Great enthusiasm resulting in a very nice video. 🙂

Never really been into model villages but you made this pretty interesting 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for this Tim, gonna have to visit again this year. I love the new fantasy land.

I've been meaning to watch this for ages, what a fab place, thanks Tim. If I ever get to go to Gt Yarmouth I will definitely visit this 😁👍

I will visit next time I’m in yarmouth, free crazy golf 🏌️ & night time lights I’m there.. Cheers Tim love the informative videos you do.👍

That was lovely to watch brought back few memories, can't wait to come and visit Yarmouth again, thankyou Tim😀

This is my dream place to work

That was brilliant never been there though I know it's there it looks cool .

I love a model village, my child hood memory was the one in Babbacombe Torquay , loved it , Thanks Tim

I remember the maypole at cobholm first school. Haven't been to that model village in 20 some odd years if I wasn't disabled would like to take my daughter there. I stayed at a parkdean in Torquay and they had a model village a few miles up the road I visited. Good vid looking forward to the next one.

Oh memory time again!have spent many hrs in there with grandson .mostly to watch the model trains .

Love this place Tim thanks for the tour must get back there soon 👍

Absolutely love Merrivale. The dancing clown reminds me of my childhood. There is so much model village to see too! Thank you for such a delightful, upbeat vid, Tim. ☺☺👍👌

This was fabulous! Thanks Tim!

Excellent video and a delightful model village!! I shall be visiting!! I think the lights must come on inside the buildings at night so you can see into the interiors of the model buildings better than in the day!! Thanks Tim as always!!😊👍

Having a lazy day today Henry watching this vlog I so want to go to this place it looks really good fun and a good day out

Love this! Memories of childhood

I love watching your video's I've had some lovely holidays there and they bring back some great memories

Its good to see they have updated it i feel a trip coming up at end of may when we are back to norfolk on holiday

Another excellent video Tim it looks great in there

Interesting to watch, my parents first took me in there during the early 60's while on summer holiday and visited several times, don't remember the tea rooms being there and going in there though, always liked seeing model villages while on holiday.

Brilliant Tim. It's lovely. I didn't even know it was there. I used to love model villages. Ramsgate had one many years but it was vandalised a decade ago I think. It was such a shame. Must look Merrivale out and go if my mobility scooter will fit on the paths. If not at least you showed me what it was like! Thank you. :)

It’s nice to see the smaller architecture of Great Yarmouth. I think it would be nice have to have a model of the old Marina Centre as a memorial to it somewhere.

Really enjoyed watching this. We have been past here on a number of occasions but have never popped in. Next time we come I want to visit as it looks lovely. Thanks for sharing🥰😊

25,000 subs Tim.🎉 Amazing!!! This place is wonderful. Kids of all ages love this place. Great job Tim. 🌸

Another great video Tim,have been going there since i was a child and still going with my family, keep up the great work & effort you put into all your videos

That's not a seesaw ... It's a Ducking Chair .... A public punishment in medieval times .... Dip them up and down in deep water ... Great video Tim .... Love it ... Now on my list to visit ... We are in Blackpool ...

Yes I did maypole dancing at school in sawtry

This brings back so many happy memories and my family visited the model village practically every year while on holiday in Yarmouth and funnily enough we stayed numerous times at Vauxhall Holiday Park, you never fail to impress Tim, your knowledge, presentation and enthusiasm is a breath of fresh air ♥️👍

Fabulous ! Thank you

Love this place been there since I was a kid I don’t think Great Yarmouth would be the same without it ❤️

Love Merrivale Tim so detailed

Visit Yarmouth every year and never been to Merrivale motel village, will. certainly will go this September, loved the Video Tim Brilliant as ever.

Don't quote me on this but I believe the seesaw over that hole of water was something to do with the punishment of unlawful women in times gone. It's called a cucking stool. There was one at Pulls Ferry in Norwich which is where they used to punish women. The main fixture still remains but the actual wooden beam and stool is no longer there. Keep up these great videos, as a local it's great to see things from a different perspective and there's plenty to learn along the way. Have a great day and congrats on 25k subscribers.

Superb video, loved it all the details and set scenes, love these model villages, we have the blackpool model village near by and love visiting there when I can

that was great tim congratulation on the 25,000 subscribers well done your the best

I love this video Tim. I must take a trip to Gt Yarmouth from Worcestershire. The quality of the video is great. Thank you so much.

Would Love to see it at night!!! And the trains. Lovely place!

Really enjoyable video Tim. In Australia we have one called Cockington Green which is great but this one is superior. The detail is fantastic. Thanks again. Debbie & Patrick New Zealand.

Fabulous really enjoyed that tim 👍👍

This place looks cool tim 👍😎👍

That was just great Tim, thankyou so much for taking the time to show us around the fabulous model village at Yarmouth. As much as I enjoy looking at the scenes and figures, the penny amusement arcade would have to be my favourite go to place, it's wonderf ul, and the clown is just adorable, also the cafe is a big bonus to visit when the weather isn't so nice, so many thanks again for showing this, take care Carol Anne x

I loved that

Awesome video. Definitely worth a visit 😊👍

Beautiful that Tim love it

Great Vid Tim such a nice little place will have to go there in the summer keep trying to but never get round to it

Absolutely great👌👌

Thank you for sharing

Hi Tim. Loved your video of the model village so detailed. The only other one I've seen was in Bacombe when I was 6 years old. Please do this again at night if you can thank you. Marie

I've been to Merrivale Model Village, came here nearly 3 years ago for my 30th birthday. I took some footage and put it on KZfaq too. 10:08 Wow, I don't recall seeing the sensory garden on my visit either. Has this been added recently? Love the big wheel. 12:19-13:01 Oh dear, no Thomas this time? When I visited there, Thomas was sitting on the track at 13:00. Didn't really check out the arcade. We did visit the tearoom though. Even though I don't visit Great Yarmouth much now, I'd love to visit the Model Village again sometime.

That was great Tim. I usually make a bee line for a model village when I'm on holiday I think the detail is amazing. It inspired me to create my own model railway which I am still working on. Maybe you can go back and film it when the trains are running in the evening. Thanks for showing us that.

Hi Tim, I have worked for current owners since they took over the model village, probably not long after you made this video, and really do think you should visit again to see improvements made and money invested, which I'm lucky to have been involved in! Dean and Sophi (correct spelling) are brilliant to work with and for, and I'm sure I can arrange access if you wish to visit again, perhaps bring Gaby and the little one along too!? Also it's best time of year in terms of the gardens in bloom! Cheers, Ray.

I really enjoyed that tim

I loved this place and want to go!

Wow I love the model village at gy

You should have asked them to produce a photograph of you coming out of the Merrivale Travelodge having reviewed it,
