Godshill village is a very pretty and popular old village with a large amount of thatched houses and gift shops, plenty of parking even for coaches which frequent it.  There are quite a few gift shops to browse, many tea rooms with inside and outside seating and two pubs with one church up on the hill.

There are a  couple of restaurants of which one is reputedly haunted and The Model Village and a small Toy Museum.  Not forgetting Godshill's Cider Barn which sells very potent cider in various containers along with preserves, oils, jams, wines, mustards and the like.

See our Pub guide for personal recommendations of which pub to eat in or simply have a drink in around this area.

Godshill church and famous cottages high up on the hill. Best way to get here is to walk as there is very very little parking up here. A pleasant walk up to this quieter part of the village.

This is looking down the middle of Godshill. The famous tea rooms and The Model Village are on the right.

Cask & Taverners pub is on the left. Not a bad pub really if you want a change from The Griffin.  Don't be put off by the usually deserted front room, use the side entrance half way down the pubs length.  Some outdoor improvements have been noticed to be re-evaluated in 2008.
