Lilliput Lane started producing their miniature cottages in 1982. David Tate, the founder, opened workshops at Skirsgill, near Penrith, and the company has remained in the area ever since. The majority of cottages are based on real cottages, with collections based not only on British Cottages, but also American, and in the past German, Dutch and French Cottages.

The cottages have attracted a worldwide audience and with regular retirements and new issues, and there is a lot of demand for earlier and rarer cottages.

The Lilliput Lane visitor centre is no longer open.

Lilliput Lane is a division of Enesco European Giftware.
