A charming and unique attraction in the Canberra suburb of Bruce, Cockington Green features meticulous scale model replicas of English village buildings, cricket grounds, and a remarkable international village section representing dozens of countries. Beautiful manicured English gardens surround the miniature buildings. Popular with all ages — kids love spotting tiny details; adults appreciate the craftsmanship. Allow 1.5–2 hours.
