Isle of Wight Nostalgia - Godshill Old Smithy Garden



Picture of Godshill Old Smithy, Isle of Wight

A part of the village much loved by tourists. The garden is part of the Old Smithy gift shop - there used to be a charge but admission was free when I visited. There is a building just to the right of the picture which houses the Water 'Otter, one of the many attractions of the garden. In the foreground of this photo is a 'garden isle' - an interpretation of the Island in flowers and models surrounded by water!

It's a shame the garden is closed in the evening with all these lanterns!

There has been a Water 'Otter in these gardens as long as I can remember. Wisely, the public are asked to refrain from feeding it.
