Godshill Godshill is a charming village situated inland from Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. It has a rich history and folklore, as well as many attractions for visitors. According to legend, the village got its name from the mysterious relocation of the stones for the local church. Every night, the stones were moved from their original site on flat ground to the top of a hill, as if by divine intervention. Thus, the church was built on the hill and Godshill was born. The village offers a variety of shops and cafes for tourists to enjoy. One of them is the Old Smithy, a shopping village that was once a blacksmith's forge. Here, visitors can find unique gifts and souvenirs, as well as relax in a cozy cafe. One of the most popular attractions in Godshill is its model village. This miniature replica of the village and its surroundings is located in the gardens of Godshill Park Farm House. It features detailed models of houses, churches, pubs and other landmarks, all made with local materials and craftsmanship. The model village is a delight for children and adults alike.
