"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
New Forest, Dorset and Isle of Wight
The New Forest lies within the county of Hampshire, on the south-central coast of England, and includes Britain's smallest National Park with it's he rare blend of open heathlands and ancient woodlands.
Dorset's 150 mile coastline follows the English Channel to the south and forms the Jurassic Coast, designated a World Heritage Site in December 2001.
The Isle of Wight, England's largest island is located in the English Channel and separated from the mainland 5 miles away by the Solent. It has 57 miles of coastline. Slightly more than half of the island, mainly in the west, is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The landscape of the AONB is diverse being made up of five different sub areas which together consist of 11 distinct types of landscape. This diversity is the special attraction of the island leading to its oft-quoted description of "England in Miniature".

Scratchell's Bay - Isle of Wight
Scratchell's Bay is on the south west coast, just to the south east of The Needles. It faces roughly south towards the English Channel and is 300 yards in length and is straight. The name is thought to have come from one of the many names for the Devil. The beach which is made up mostly of shingle cannot be reached any other way than by boat, as there is no access from the top of the cliff. A small cave is located at the east end of the bay, near Sun Corner. The wreck of a 19th century iron-hulled sailing ship called the Irex lies within the bay.
