点评:This was our first visit to the Isle of Wight since 1977 (!) and we made a return trip to the Godshill Model Village : I'm glad to say it didn't disappoint.
Firstly, the real-life Godshill is beautiful itself - make sure you walk up the steep lane to the fabulous thatched cottages and hilltop church, of which there's a model in the Model Village.
The Model Village is beautifully maintained, with all the trees and shrubs immaculate and the models of the cottages, churches, shops etc are excellent : many of them are whimsical, many of them harking back to another time, but many bang up to date too, such as the mini wind turbine. I loved the cricket match, the wedding, the Morris dancers, the old Romany caravans, and the brilliant tiny model village of the model village!
It wasn't massively busy when we were there in the late afternoon. You need at least 45 minutes to get round, more if you want to admire every building, watch the miniature trains and visit the shop/cafe.
翻译:这是我们自1977年以来第一次造访怀特岛(!),我们还再次前往了戈德希尔模型村:值得高兴的是,它没有让我们失望。
首先,现实中的戈德希尔本身就十分美丽——一定要沿着陡峭的小路步行上去,去看看那些漂亮的茅草屋以及山顶上的教堂,模型村里也有这些建筑的模型。
模型村维护得非常好,所有的树木与灌木都修剪得整整齐齐,那些小屋和教堂的模型也制作得十分精致。那些商店等等都非常棒:很多都充满了奇思妙想,有些则让人回想起往昔岁月,但也有不少相当现代,比如小型风力涡轮机。我非常喜欢板球比赛、婚礼、莫里斯舞者表演、那些古老的吉普赛大篷车,还有那个超棒的微缩模型村!
我们傍晚去的时候,人不算多。至少需要45分钟才能走完一圈,如果你想仔细欣赏每一栋建筑的话,所需时间还会更长。观看微型火车表演,并逛逛商店/咖啡馆。
