The Echills Wood Railway is a 7+1⁄4 in (184 mm) miniature hobbyist railway in Kingsbury Water Park, Warwickshire, England.
A feature of the railway is its gnome village, a collection of garden gnomes donated by the public. The gnome village was vandalised in September 2016, when several of the ornaments were damaged.[1] The incident prompted members of the public to donate replacements following an appeal by railway members.[2][3] Local newspaper, the Tamworth Herald also backed the appeal.[4] The attraction was destroyed for a second time by vandals in April 2017.[5]
