The village of Godshill is a dispersed settlement of around 210 households nestled on the Western Escarpment of the New Forest National Park in the north-western corner.

The village retains strong links with Commoning traditions, and remains a working Forest village.

There are also a relatively high number of younger people within the population.

Much of the physical area of the parish is Crown Land being open forest.

The village itself has a large holiday centre at Sandy Balls, a village hall which is a village hub, the Fighting Cocks pub and the parish church of St Giles.

There is a shop within Sandy Balls and another in the nearby village of Woodgreen.

The small market town of Fordingbridge lies at a distance of 2 miles offers a range of shopping, leisure, health and other facilities to residents and visitors.

Godshill is a major gateway to the attractions of the New Forest, and is also convenient for visiting Salisbury to the north and Bournemouth to the south.
