We visit Godshill & the Model Village - We drive to the picture-postcard setting of Godshill, where we include entrance to the marvellous Model Village - a 1/10 scale model of Godshill and Shanklin Old Town that nestles in the grounds of the Old Vicarage. Set in nearly two acres of gorgeous, landscaped gardens this is truly a quintessentially English visitor attraction.
