Godshill is the quintessential English Village and boasts some of the oldest architecture on the Isle of Wight. With its delightful medieval church, charming thatched-roofed cottages and a winding main-street lined with traditional tearooms, Godshill is as picturesque as it is popular. It is also known for being the site of the first-ever Isle of Wight Festival, which took place at Ford Farm in 1968.
