Pecorama is a clifftop tourist attraction in Beer, Devon, primarily known for the Beer Heights Light Railway, a 7 1/4 inch gauge passenger-carrying miniature railway. The site features extensive landscaped gardens that overlook the English Channel and the village of Beer. Indoor model railway exhibitions showcase detailed layouts, reflecting the site's origin as the headquarters of Peco, a leading model railway manufacturer. The park includes multiple adventure play areas, including the 'Pecofun' indoor soft play zone. It is situated on a steep hillside, requiring significant walking on inclines. The gardens host a variety of exotic plants and water features designed to thrive in the coastal microclimate. Visitors can observe the mechanical operations of the steam and diesel locomotives that power the miniature trains.
