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".

Tennyson Down - Isle of Wight
Tennyson Down is a hill at the west end of the island just south of Totland. I t is a grassy, whale-backed ridge of chalk which rises to 482 ft above sea level and is named after the poet Lord Tennyson who lived at nearby Farringford House for nearly 40 years. The poet used to walk on the down almost every day, saying that the air was worth 'sixpence a pint'. At the top of the Down at a height of 500 ft stands a huge granite cross commemorating the life of Tennyson.
