Pecorama (or Pecorama Pleasure Gardens) is a tourist attraction on the hillside above the village of Beer, Devon, in southwest England. In November 2025; the owners Peco announced the site's closure for the 2026 season, citing falling revenues and lack of profits, despite a busy year in 2025. It included a display of many model railways, gardens, a shop, and the Beer Heights Light Railway.
The attraction is owned and run by PECO, a UK-based manufacturer of model railway accessories. The factory is on the same site.
Pecorama is also home to "Teddy Mac and the Railway Bears", a series of children's books written by Margaret Edmonds.
The Beer Heights Light Railway was a minimum-gauge railway. Part of Pecorama, an exhibition owned by Peco, it closed in November 2025.
The official opening was by Rev. W.V. Awdry on 14 July 1975, at which time it offered a return ride from "Much Natter" station via a balloon loop. Subsequently, it was almost doubled in length by construction of the "Devil's Gorge" extension which involved a very considerable cutting and tunnel, and the complex track layout also includes a more recent steeply-graded branch line to "Wildway Down". The station at Deepwater was revamped in late 2014 and reopened in July 2015 as 'Deepwater Halt'.
The line is notable for its high standard of presentation to the public and for the fine views obtainable from it. It is home to eight live steam locomotives designed on narrow gauge principles.
It's temporary closure, for financial reasons, was announced in November 2025.
The railway had eight steam locomotives, two diesel and one electric. A locomotive called 'Finn MacCool' also visited every summer (usually July â September) from the Belfast and County Down Miniature Railway Society, Northern Ireland, to help out in the peak season. Other locomotives also visited during the 'Loco Week' and 'Bank Holiday Weekend Gala' in August. A list of locomotives is below:
