The family at AtlasAdventured highly recommends visiting here! We had been staying in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight for a little over a month before we found this gem! We had spent the day at the Donkey Sanctuary, and afterwards we took the bus to Godshill. It is a very cute and small town, filled with thatch roofed houses. We came across a cute little shop, and were completely floored when we entered. We went into the cute gift shop first. They offer a lot of cute items. Everything would have made the perfect gift for someone! We noticed an open door towards the back of the store and it opened up to this beautiful lush garden. The gentleman working explained we could go walk around. This was one of the highlights of the day! The garden is filled with gnomes, fairies, miniature houses, and glass windows depicting different fairy scenes! There is a fish pond and a little house that has old pictures of the town and explains the history. Everything is so detailed and cute! There was another gift shop out in the middle of the gardens where I bought the most delicious smelling lotion! All of the items for sale are original, decently priced and of great quality. I thought this would be a quick trip into a gift shop, and it ended up being a 2 hour adventure! Beautiful spot to enjoy the day. Unfortunately we didn't get the chance to enjoy the cafe, but that just means we'll have to come back! I highly recommend visiting here if you are in the area. You could easily plan a whole day in the area. read more
