Wild wild west

Laredo, a secret members-only Wild West town in England, was founded by a group of enthusiasts who have spent over 30 years re-enacting American frontier life. The town began with a single cabin and gradually expanded to include 24 buildings, such as a bank, apothecary, blacksmith's shop, and a two-story saloon and hotel. Located in the English countryside, Laredo has no running water or electricity, but it features gaslights and woodstoves, creating an authentic 19th-century atmosphere. The town comes to life every other weekend when members don period-correct clothing and immerse themselves in the Wild West experience.
Laredo is not a theme park or a filming location, but a living, breathing community for its members. The town's founders and current members have meticulously researched and recreated the details of life in the American West, from the architecture to the clothing. While Laredo has hosted film crews and television shows, it remains primarily a private retreat for its members, who cherish the camaraderie and shared passion for the Wild West. The town's authenticity and dedication to historical accuracy make it a unique and cherished place for those who call it home. #wildwest

We have an old one here for tourists but it has been closed down for years.

Fun fact... The original Laredo wasn't in Texas. 🙃

The name “Laredo” comes from Laredo, Cantabria in Spain, in honor of Saint Augustine of Hippo.
