Ford Farm near Godshill was the site of the first ever Isle of Wight Festival in 1968. It attracted 10,000 people to see acts such as Jefferson Airplane and the mystical Arthur Brown.

Godshill Park House dates from about 1760 and was built as a home farm to serve the Appuldurcombe Estate. In around 1860 the house was extended, adding the Regency front and became a private residence. It was used in the Second World War as an army hospital.

Godshill has pubs called the "Griffin", featuring a large griffin-shaped maze and children's playground, and "The Taverners".

Since 1952 Godshill has been the home of a model village of itself and Shanklin's old village at a scale of 1:10. It is so detailed and on such a large scale that it contains a scale model of the model village. Within that second model there is a third, even smaller model of the village.

The parish church is All Saints' Church. It is a medieval building noted for its medieval wall painting of a Lily crucifix, and has a stained glass window by William Morris.
