Favorite Isle of Wight photography subjects

[wbowman]

I am spending the weekend in Chale, Isle of Wight and I am hoping to

have some guidance on interesting photography sites there. I see lots

of other posts of beautiful shots from there. Are there any "can't

miss" suggested places?

Difficult to pin down specific photography sights but the western part of the island (which

includes Chale) is by far my own favourite part of the Isle of Wight. If you like landscapes

and/or seascapes I guess the views from Freshwater and Tennyson Down can be hard to

beat. If the weather is right (sunny and bright but with plenty of wind to whip the sea up a

bit) I recommend getting up high near Freshwater golf course and looking back towards

Compton Bay and the Military Road. There are few better bits of coastline anywhere in

England.

If you have time it is worth visiting Dimbola Lodge in Freshwater Bay. This was home to Julia Margaret Cameron, and now has a museum, gallery and tearoom.
