Its history dates back to 1313AD when a boat was shipwrecked and a local Lord helped himself to all the communion wine onboard. It annoyed the Vatican who demanded that he build a lighthouse as penance. Nowadays it would be called Eucharistgate and the papers would say 'his position has become untenable'.

Godshill Model Village is a quaint attraction within a quaint village. It's been in the same family for the last 35 years, and they take great pride in the quality of everything from the church to the 3000 model conifers. Young children obviously need to be accompanied to make sure that you don't get home to find half a dozen residents and a lamp-post in a coat pocket. Under threes get in free.

There are various adventure playgrounds that will appeal as well as a couple of tame rides, tunnels to crawl through, fish to feed, a miniature village and a maze. More adventurous 3 year olds are also allowed on the Toboggan Run with an adult. It's also worth noting that under 4s get in free, so perhaps one to consider if your pre-schoolers are a couple of months away from their fourth birthday.

However, if your kids are constantly lunging at each other with swords and holding shields then you might get away with Carisbrooke Castle.
English Heritage make a good effort to keep it family-friendly with jousting on the bowling green in the summer. Is there a charge? Yes, of course, that's the general idea of jousting (Ed: groan).
There are also donkeys which pull up a bucket from a well all year round and a dry moat outside the ground which we used to run up and down like lunatics.
