Isle of Wight holiday - Day 2

Today we explored the western extremity of the Isle of Wight on foot - we walked nearly ten miles around Freshwater, Totland and the surrounding area. Highlights of the day included All Saints Church and Dimbola Lodge, the former home and studio of the pioneering Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron who was the great-aunt of Rachel, the Countess of Dudley. After a rather poor start weather-wise, the afternoon brightened up nicely.
