Godshill Model Village

Nestling in the gardens of the Old Vicarage is this beautiful Model Village of Godshill and Shanklin Old Villages as they were in yesteryear.

The exquisite details include 1/10 scale houses, many with real thatched roofs; miniature trees and gardens; a Model Railway; an airship; a wind turbine and local characters going about their business. The 1 1/4-acre garden is landscaped with over 2,000 conifers, many treated with coarse bonsai to form a perfect setting for the models.

A must-see attraction!
