+
+Foreword.
+
+Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention of
+the travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possess
+attractions of very varied character. It has often been the theme
+of poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and the
+amateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever may
+be his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for the
+student of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees and
+streams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of the
+Landslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight in
+the interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest student
+of Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that within
+short distances many successive formations can be studied; the high
+inclination of the strata bringing to the surface the different
+formations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish great
+opportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here find
+an almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and ferns
+abound in great variety.
+
+To those who have never visited the Island, the accompanying
+illustrations will unfold sufficient of its beauty to give some
+idea of its resources. Being reproductions from actual photographs
+they may be relied upon as being true to Nature. There is great
+diversity in the scenery, and a holiday can be enjoyed amid its
+beauties which can scarcely be surpassed. It may be truly described
+as the Garden of England, and some of its scenes are here presented
+in the hope that those who inspect its beauties as here transcribed
+will be induced to visit and see it for themselves.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steephill Castle, Ventnor._]
+
+STEEPHILL CASTLE, VENTNOR.--Within a mile of Ventnor, and close to
+the Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway, is Steephill
+Castle with its beautiful and extensive grounds. From every point
+outside the Castle is well embowered in trees, only the tower being
+visible. It was built in 1835 by I. Hambrough, Esq. The architectural
+features are well displayed from inside the garden. The view from
+the tower is very fine. In 1874 the Empress of Austria stayed here,
+and hunted with the Isle of Wight hounds during her visit. It is
+occupied at the present time by Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Richards, the
+parents of "John Oliver Hobbes" (Mrs. Craigie), who is a frequent
+visitor.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Appuldurcombe Abbey._]
+
+APPULDURCOMBE ABBEY.--The ancient seat of the Worsley family, the
+present building was erected in the eighteenth century by Sir Robert
+Worsley. Here the Benedictine monks had a Priory in the time of
+Henry III. It was dissolved by Henry V, Sir Richard Worsley died in
+1805, and the house became the property of the Earl of Yarborough,
+who had married the niece and heiress of the family. After being
+used as a school for many years, it is now occupied by Benedictine
+monks, In a beautiful park of four hundred acres, with a lofty down
+behind it, the house appears to be a well secluded and charming
+retreat. There is a public footpath through the meadow in front
+of the house.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steephill Cove, near Ventnor._]
+
+STEEPHILL COVE, NEAR VENTNOR.--Taking the cliff path from Ventnor
+to the west within a little more than a mile there opens out to view
+this pretty Cove. It is a place for painters, and its loveliness
+in all varieties of Nature's many moods, has found admirers. The
+cottages nestling under the banks, its parti-coloured gardens,
+with enclosing pebble walls, its boats and crab-pots, with the
+distant cliffs in succession, all combine in a composition that
+strikes the beholder with a conviction of its beauty.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade, from Rylstone._]
+
+SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews
+nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the
+Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot
+of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway
+on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade,
+with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of
+the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a
+safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating
+too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in
+the direction of Luccombe.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Gateway, Carisbrooke Castle._]
+
+GATEWAY, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--This noble gateway tower was erected
+by Anthony Woodville, Lord Scales, in the year 1464, and is still
+in good preservation. The outer gateway was erected in the time of
+Queen Elizabeth, when a great extension of the grounds enclosed
+was made.
+
+ "The battled towers, the dungeon keep,
+  The loop-hole grates where captives weep,
+  The flanking walls that round it sweep
+  In yellow lustre shone." (Scott).
+
+The old massive doors have been removed recently and replaced by
+a lighter structure.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Osborne House Terrace._]
+
+OSBORNE HOUSE.--This view of Osborne from the south lawn is the
+most picturesque, and gives the late Queen's apartments standing
+out in bold relief in the centre of the picture. The terraces below
+adorn the building, and the rosary which extends on the right to
+the lawn is gay with a blaze of colour in the month of June. Now
+that Osborne has been made into a Naval College, the grounds are
+open to visitors on Fridays in the winter, and on Tuesdays and
+Fridays in the summer season; it is visited by many thousands during
+the year.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pond, Bonchurch._]
+
+THE POND, BONCHURCH.--One of the show places of the Isle of Wight
+known throughout the world by the lovely pictures that have been
+made of it. It has lately fallen into disrepute by the destruction
+of some of its beautiful trees, but more specially by the leakage
+of the pond which left it stagnant, dirty, and partly dry. This
+has now to a large extent been remedied, and the pond once more
+assumes its former aspect, giving reflection in its surface to
+the lovely forms of beautiful foliage with which it is overhung.
+The village is one mile from Ventnor.
+
+
+[Illustration: _St. Catherine's Lighthouse._]
+
+ST. CATHERINE'S LIGHTHOUSE.--Formerly the Lighthouse stood upon
+the Downs, but the prevalence of sea mists during certain portions
+of the year which obscured the light, at last led to the erection
+of the present building near the margin of the sea. It is one of
+the most powerful lights in the world, sending its rays far out
+over the sea and land as it revolves. When the sea mists arise it
+has a powerful foghorn which can be heard for many miles. Close
+by is the reef at Rockenend, on which many a gallant ship has been
+broken up.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ferncliffe Pleasure Gardens, Sandown._]
+
+FERNCLIFFE PLEASURE GARDENS, SANDOWN.--These beautiful grounds
+have lately been acquired by a syndicate of leading residents,
+with the view of their ultimate acquisition for the town. The house
+is available for refreshments, and the Gardens, which are well
+wooded, are pleasant to ramble in. There are little nooks and seats
+overlooking the bay in several directions. It is already proving
+a great attraction to the town.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Needles._]
+
+THE NEEDLES.--When walking on the Downs from freshwater to the
+Needles, following the path by the military fence, this picture
+of the Needles comes suddenly into view, and is a very impressive
+sight. The Needles themselves are stacks of upper chalk, with flints,
+and are the remains of an extension of the chalk. The cliffs here
+are about four hundred feet in height, and at their base the sea
+breaks frequently in a long surf line on the steep shingly shore.
+In calm weather visitors engage boatmen at Totland and Alum Bays to
+take them in boats through the Needles and land them in Scratchels
+Bay.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Old Village._]
+
+SHANKLIN OLD VILLAGE.--One of the most charming old-world pictures,
+which still retains its rustic simplicity. Multitudes of visitors
+from all parts of the world yearly visit this relic of Old Shanklin.
+Pretty thatched cottages can be seen in many parts of the Island,
+but nowhere is there such a combination, there being three different
+styles of roof in thatch, the setting in a background of trees
+completing the illusion of the country. In the angle where the
+figures stand is the rustic fountain on which hangs the shield with
+the verse written by the poet Longfellow when staying at Hollier's
+Hotel, Shanklin, in 1869.
+
+  "O traveller, stay thy weary feet,
+   Drink of this fountain cool and sweet,
+     It flows for rich and poor the same:
+   Then go thy way, remembering still
+   The wayside well beneath the hill,
+     The cup of water in His name."
+
+
+[Illustration: _Stone Bridge in Shanklin Chine._]
+
+STONE BRIDGE IN SHANKLIN CHINE.--About half-way through the Chine
+the ravine is spanned by an arched Stone Bridge which, in conjunction
+with the steep banks with trees and ferns, makes a fine pictorial
+effect. Many of the trees are a great height, having been drawn
+up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this place are
+a considerable height. The stream flows along the narrow channel
+under the bridge.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Chine Hollow, Shanklin._]
+
+CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.--This charming lane leads from Shanklin
+Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and
+within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful
+shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red
+and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant
+vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with
+Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip
+and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town.
+
+
+[Illustration: _View Across the Foot of Shanklin Chine._]
+
+VIEW ACROSS THE FOOT OF SHANKLIN CHINE.--From the shelter of a
+pretty nook in which seats are provided, Shanklin sands and cliffs
+appear in all their exquisite beauty. A wide stretch of sand from
+the foot of the Chine to the fine cliffs of lower Greensand supplies
+a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the cliff
+is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up in
+the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls
+and roof of thatch, forms a pleasing subject in many a picture.
+Half-way to the cliff are steps leading up to Appley Cliff into
+the village, or on to the Landslip.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Chine._]
+
+SHANKLIN CHINE.--A scene of sylvan loveliness beyond description.
+Winding paths extending from the shore for about one hundred yards,
+through one continuous bower of beauty, bring you to the head where
+in the wet season there is a cascade. In the summer the banks are
+one mass of ferns and foliage of varied form and colours. Quiet
+nooks are to be found where, during the heat of the day, a book
+can be enjoyed in the cool shade of the trees. Shanklin has the
+reputation of being the cleanest town in England. It is certainly
+the most beautiful in the Isle of Wight.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Stone Seat--The Landslip._]
+
+STONE SEAT--THE LANDSLIP.--The Landslip which lies between Shanklin
+and Ventnor is a favourite resort to the inhabitants and visitors of
+both places. The catastrophe that wrought this magic transformation
+has resulted in producing scenery of entrancing beauty. The efforts
+of Nature to cover and hide the deformities of riven rocks and
+yawning chasms have produced trees of fantastic shape and remarkable
+diversity. The broken rocks afford sustenance for many plants, the
+chloritic marl liberated making the ground wonderfully fertile.
+This stone seat forms a natural throne on which many parties have
+found a trysting-place. As it stands in the principal pathway it
+is a well-known resting-place.
+
+
+[Illustration: _On the Road to Blackgang._]
+
+ON THE ROAD TO BLACKGANG.--"One of the most charming drives in
+England," is the verdict of many visitors to the far-famed Undercliff,
+as they go through shady groves and again emerge under the weather-worn
+craggy cliffs above the road. In spring the ground under the trees
+is carpeted with flowers, and the winding road uphill and down
+creates a transformation scene at every turn. There is no rest for
+the eye, and all the faculties are awake to enjoy a new sensation
+of delight as each corner in the road is turned. It is a perfect
+fairy land, and the rugged walls are half hidden by multitudes
+of plants which enhance the lights upon the stone.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Windy Corner--The Undercliff._]
+
+WINDY CORNER--THE UNDERCLIFF.--One of the most romantic districts
+in the whole of England is the Undercliff, extending for five miles
+from Ventnor to Blackgang Chine. Its beauty has been caused by the
+slipping away of the Gault clay, letting down the masses of Upper
+Greensand rock. The chert beds of the cliff have been weathered
+out by wind and rain into forms of rugged beauty, while the broken
+and undulating ground below is filled with flowers and vegetation
+of the most wonderful and varied character, scattered rocks peeping
+out among the foliage furnishing bits of a most attractive character
+to the artist and photographer.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, looking East._]
+
+VENTNOR, LOOKING EAST.--The differences of elevation afford to
+most of the houses in Ventnor practically uninterrupted views of
+the sea. The sheltered nature of the site also furnishes a most
+congenial climate, in which plants and shrubs in great variety
+flourish. The horned poppy adorns the cliffs, and valerian and
+tamarisk thrive even during the winter months. Its peculiarities
+of climate and position render it a highly favourable residence
+for invalids throughout the year. It would be difficult to name any
+place of equal extent and variety of surface, or of equal beauty
+in point of scenery--so completely screened from the cutting N.E.
+winds of spring.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, from the Sea._]
+
+VENTNOR, FROM THE SEA.--Built on the slopes of the hill, Ventnor
+presents from the sea a remarkable and magnificent picture. Each
+house being at a different elevation, commands sunshine all the
+day. Sheltered from the cold wind, trees and flowers flourish and
+retain their beauty during the winter. When the golden gorse and
+purple heather are in bloom upon the downs it forms a most attractive
+scene. Steamboat trips daily during the summer furnish the visitors
+with abundant opportunities of enjoying this vision of beauty. The
+Railway Station lies between the hills behind the Church spire.
+The Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway lies to the
+left beyond the Park.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, looking West._]
+
+VENTNOR, LOOKING WEST.--From this point Ventnor is beautiful both
+in summer and in winter. The setting sun on a winter day is a sight
+worth travelling far to see, and in summer the white chalk cliffs
+of the foreground are clothed with crimson valerian, mingled with
+bright green samphire, while the gardens below, with the miniature
+lake, are full of colour. These effects, together with the houses
+perched on every conceivable vantage point of rock and surrounded
+with vegetation of varied hue, make up a picture of entrancing
+beauty. There is a good Pier for promenading and fishing as well
+as for steamboat excursions.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Old Oak Tree--The Landslip._]
+
+OLD OAK TREE--THE LANDSLIP.--This is one of the many specimens
+of fantastic growth to be found in the Landslip, and is a great
+contrast to the tall and stately beech trees that grow in the Cloisters
+nearer to the upper cliff. It resembles very much the serpent-tree
+which was painted by Turner. This part of the Landslip is full of
+great diversities of form and situation, some appearing to grow
+direct out of the rocks. The white scented violet grows here in
+great profusion in April.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Blackgang Chine._]
+
+BLACKGANG CHINE.--This view of Blackgang exhibits its wild and
+rugged grandeur. The cliffs rise to a height of four hundred feet
+above sea level. The surf-line breaking on the red beach far below
+on the left, with the broad expanse of sea beyond, is very fine.
+The cliffs in the middle distance consist of the sands and clays
+of the lower Greensand formation, and are constantly falling and
+being eroded by the waves. The breakers on the shore at Blackgang
+are very grand in stormy weather, the beach being very steep and
+the water deep outside, a great volume rolls in with magnificent
+effect and thunderous sound. Geologically it is of great interest,
+the beds of the lower Greensand being more fully developed here
+than elsewhere, a thickness of almost eight hundred feet being
+exhibited in this neighbourhood.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Swiss Cottage, Osborne._]
+
+SWISS COTTAGE, OSBORNE.--The grounds of Osborne House contain five
+thousand acres, the lawn sloping down to the sea adjoining the
+grounds of Norris Castle. A sheltered portion of the garden contains
+a large number of trees and shrubs from Indian and foreign climes.
+In the vicinity of this Indian garden is Swiss Cottage, forming
+an architectural contrast to Osborne House, and surrounded with
+trees and flowers that make it appear quite a little paradise.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Floating Bridge, Cowes._]
+
+THE FLOATING BRIDGE, COWES.--East Cowes is reached by crossing in
+this bridge, which goes backwards and forwards across the mouth
+of the Medina, conveying carts, carriages, coaches, and motor cars,
+as well as passengers. It works on chains which pass under it,
+fastened to the shore at each end. It is a novel experience to
+many people when they find the coachman drive his four-horse coach
+full of passengers down the slope on to the bridge, and then off
+again at the other side.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Whippingham Church._]
+
+WHIPPINGHAM CHURCH.--About a mile south of Osborne is Whippingham
+Church, a cruciform structure from designs furnished by the late
+Prince Consort. Before a private Chapel was added at Osborne the
+Royal Family often attended. The aisles which contain seats for
+the Royal Household are divided from the Chancel by ornamented
+arcades. The north aisle is converted into a Mortuary Chapel in
+memory of Prince Henry of Battenberg. Mural tablets to Princess
+Alice, the Duke of Albany, and a medallion bust to the Prince Consort
+have been erected by Her late Majesty; also a medallion to Sir
+Henry Ponsonby, whose tomb is in the Churchyard. From the back
+of the Church there is a fine view of the river Medina, looking
+towards Newport, the capital of the Island.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pier, Cowes._]
+
+THE PIER, COWES.--The new Pier and Esplanade from an attractive
+feature at Cowes. When emerging from its narrow streets you come
+out into the wide open expanse of Esplanade, it is a great relief.
+The Marine Hotel forms a prominent object. East Cowes is to be seen
+in the distance. This view is taken from close to the entrance to
+the Royal Yacht Squadron Grounds and Landing Stage.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Royal Yacht Squadron Club House, Cowes._]
+
+ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON CLUB HOUSE, COWES.--The Club House was originally
+one of the fortresses built by Henry VIII. for the defence of the
+Island. In the time of Charles I. it became a prison. It is now
+rented from the Commissioners of Woods and forests by the Club.
+It is a scene of gaiety and animation during the first week in
+August, which is the Cowes week of the season. Crowds gather near
+the slipway to see the royal and noble passengers land when the
+yachting season is on. The Causeway leads to the Green which is
+crowded during the racing. On fireworks-night this thoroughfare
+is densely packed from end to end.
+
+
+[Illustration: _High Street and Queen Victoria Memorial, Newport._]
+
+HIGH STREET AND QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL, NEWPORT.--The ancient
+borough of Newport is the capital of the Island. Its streets are
+usually busy, and on market days are quite gay and animated. The
+County Petty Sessional Court is held every Saturday in the Town
+Hall, which is also the meeting-place of the Town Council. The
+Isle of Wight County Council meets at the Technical Institute,
+as does also the Education Authority. In the same building is the
+Free Library, the gift of Sir Charles Seeley, Bart., who also pays
+the librarian's salary, with the water rent secured from the Town
+Council for the splendid supply, recently acquired from the estate
+of Sir Charles at Bowcombe. The Diamond Jubilee Memorial to Her
+late Majesty is erected on the spot where at the Jubilee, in 1887,
+Her Royal Highness received an address of congratulation from the
+inhabitants of the Isle of Wight. Newport contains the old Grammar
+School where Charles I. held his conference with representatives of
+the Parliament, and many other buildings of historical interest.
+The monument to the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Charles I.,
+is in St. Thomas' Church.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steps to the Keep, Carisbrooke Castle._]
+
+STEPS TO THE KEEP, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--As a memorial of a bygone
+age how interesting are the steps to the keep, the last resort of
+the besieged, from which it would be difficult to dislodge them,
+without great loss. The well which furnished them with water is now
+dry, but can still be seen. The battlements furnish the visitor
+with a magnificent view of the country in every direction. The
+steps, seventy-two in number, are somewhat steep. The walls are
+covered with climbing plants. Shelter is afforded by trees and
+bushes, while access is given at the back of the ancient buildings
+in the Castle, to facilitate escape in case of surprise.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Carisbrooke Village._]
+
+CARISBROOKE VILLAGE.--The village of Carisbrooke is beautifully
+situated. The Church, embowered among the trees, stands on an elevated
+site close to the Priory, with which it was associated. The Chancel
+was destroyed in Queen Elizabeth's reign by Lord Walsingham, whose
+obligation it was to have kept it in repair. The Pulpit is a relic
+of Puritan times, dated 1658, very small and plain. It was evidently
+not intended for the preacher to sit down, as nails stick up in
+the very small seat. The Lukely stream runs through the village.
+The view here shown is taken from the Beech Grove, a very beautiful
+walk leading to Carisbrooke Castle.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Quarr Abbey, W. Ryde._]
+
+QUARR ABBEY, W. RYDE.--The distance of the Abbey from Ryde is about
+three miles. It is a favourite walk from Spencer Road, viā The
+Lovers' Walk, past Binstead Church, through Quarr Wood. This portion
+is occupied as a farm, but remains of the old Abbey are scattered
+about, portions still standing to testify its extent and importance.
+The walk may be continued through the archway on to Fishbourne. In
+the wood the daffodil is plentiful, primroses, lungwort, and the blue
+iris also abound in their season. The Wood has been very extensively
+quarried for the limestone, with which Winchester Cathedral and
+many Churches were built. There are pathways through the Wood down
+to the shore, forming very pleasing vistas through the overhanging
+trees.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Spencer Road, Ryde._]
+
+SPENCER ROAD, RYDE.--It is an advantage for a town to possess pleasant
+shady walks within a short distance of its main streets. Ryde is
+favoured in this respect. Within five minutes' walk from the Town
+Hall, passing St. James' Church, is Spencer Road. It is a favourite
+promenade, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. A morning stroll
+in spring when birds are singing from every bush and tree is very
+delightful. It is a fine avenue extending several hundred yards
+and opening out into the main road to Newport. By entering the
+gate on the right at the junction, the walk may be continued past
+Binstead Church through Quarr Wood to Quarr Abbey.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ryde, from the Pier._]
+
+RYDE, FROM THE PIER.--The situation of the town is favourable as
+a principal entrance to the Island, the passage from Portsmouth
+by steamboat occupying about twenty minutes. The Pier (toll 2d.)
+is 4,000 feet in length, and is in three portions--for pedestrians
+and boating, electric railway, and the Isle of Wight Railway. There
+is a fine pavilion and bandstand at the end. Crowds of people find
+a never failing source of interest on the pier, yachting, boating,
+and fishing. On summer afternoons it is a gay and charming scene.
+The town is built on a gentle slope, and the houses command fine
+and extensive views. It has the largest population of any town
+in the Island, about 11,000 inhabitants.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Apley Tower, Ryde._]
+
+APLEY TOWER, RYDE.--Within one and a half miles of Ryde the wall
+is a continuation of the Esplanade in the direction of Spring Vale
+and Sea View. The wall furnishes a means of defence against the
+encroachment of the sea, as well as a thoroughfare for pedestrian
+traffic. Bicycles are also used on it to some extent. When the tide
+is out a wide stretch of sands is exposed, and crowds of children
+use it as a pleasure ground, finding beautiful seaweed and shells.
+The walk can be continued round the further point into Sea View.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Totland Bay._]
+
+TOTLAND BAY.--This charming resort has sprung into prominence and
+grown very fast during the last few years. Many of the houses are
+very picturesque and beautiful for situation, most of them with
+red-tiled roofs, which when toned a little more by time will be
+very beautiful among the trees. There is a pier, and during summer
+a regular service of boats from Lymington, as well as excursion
+traffic. The beach is steep and so you can bathe at any state of
+the tide. A reading-room on the shore is much patronised. The Green
+Cliff Walk is very delightful, and as the channel here is narrow
+there is a never-failing interest in the ships that pass in and out
+quite near. The front lacks shade in the hottest days of summer.
+It has great interest for the geological student, being close to
+Headon Hill and Alum Bay.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Sandown, looking West._]
+
+SANDOWN, LOOKING WEST.--Sandown is celebrated for its fine stretch
+of sands which are easy of access, and forms an extensive pleasure
+ground for the children. There is also a fine esplanade for promenading,
+which in the season is well patronised. In this view the grounds
+of Ferncliff can be seen behind the Arcade Bazaar, and there is a
+cliff path to Shanklin on the top. The picturesque fishing village
+lies under the cliff, slightly to the west. Sandown Railway Station
+is a junction with the Isle of Wight and I.W. Central Railway.
+Near the station is the celebrated Secondary School of the Isle
+of Wight Education Authority.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Tennyson's Avenue, Freshwater._]
+
+TENNYSON'S AVENUE, FRESHWATER.--Leading from the main road, near
+Stark's Hotel, is a lane giving access to the Downs and leading
+to the Avenue, across which is a small wooden bridge connecting
+Lord Tennyson's grounds. A quiet, secluded spot yet visited by
+crowds of admirers of the late Laureate. Tennyson loved retirement,
+and in scenes like these, surrounded with the loveliness of Nature,
+the breathings of his genius found full and free expression. The
+lane may be pursued under the bridge past the farm into the Alum
+Bay Road.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Freshwater Bay._]
+
+FRESHWATER BAY.--To those who desire to escape from the noise and
+traffic of the city, Freshwater Bay affords a delightful retreat.
+During the bright days of summer the sea breaks in gentle murmur
+on the sand and shingle of the beach, but in winter when lashed
+by S.W. Gales "it tumbles a billow on chalk and sand." The roar
+of the ocean can be heard for miles inland. The esplanade shown in
+the picture has been destroyed by the breakers. Temporary repairs
+have been effected, but a fierce controversy is still raging as
+to the ultimate solution of the question, how to prevent further
+encroachment, and the L.G.B. has been appealed to for help.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Farringford, Freshwater, Lord Tennyson's Residence._]
+
+FARRINGFORD, FRESHWATER, LORD TENNYSON'S RESIDENCE.--The residence
+of the late Laureate is in the neighbourhood between freshwater
+Gate and Alum Bay, secluded by trees almost to invisibility. The
+front is covered with greenery, a fine magnolia growing round and
+over the front door. From under the lateral branches of a fine
+spreading cedar tree the Poet could look into Freshwater Bay and
+yet himself not be seen. The park-like grounds are pleasant to
+walk in, and are open to the inspection of visitors on Thursdays
+at certain seasons. In his poem of invitation to Rev. F. D. Maurice
+in 1854 he well describes it:
+
+  "Where far from smoke and noise of town,
+   I watch the twilight falling brown,
+   All round a careless order'd garden,
+   Close to the ridge of a noble down."
+
+
+[Illustration: _Godshill Church._]
+
+GODSHILL CHURCH.--Built in a striking and conspicuous situation,
+Godshill Church is visible from many distant points of the surrounding
+country--a good example of Early Perpendicular architecture, a
+cruciform structure having two equal aisles of its whole length,
+with a fine pinnacled tower and sancte-bell turret in the south
+transept gable. The tower has been recently rebuilt, having been
+shattered in a thunderstorm in January, 1904, when the clock face was
+torn out and thrown out into the churchyard. It contains monuments
+to the Worsley family and the tomb of Sir John Leigh; also a fine
+painting, of the school of Rubens, of Daniel in the Lions' Den.
+There are tea-gardens in the village for the accommodation of the
+numerous visitors who throng there from Shanklin, Sandown, and
+other places in the vicinity. There is also the old village inn,
+the Griffon.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Little Jane's Cottage, Brading._]
+
+LITTLE JANE'S COTTAGE, BRADING.--This cottage still retains its
+original appearance with thatched roof and diamond window-panes,
+a real old-fashioned Isle of Wight cottage, many of which are fast
+disappearing. The little forecourt and garden are well kept. The
+greenery covering the front, of plants of great variety, from the
+yellow jessamine to the red fuchsia, with flowers under and around
+the windows, combine in completing a picture of great beauty. Here
+Jane the young cottager lived when Rev. Legh Richmond was Vicar
+of Brading in the early part of last century. Her tombstone is
+at the back of Brading Church.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Sundial, Brading._]
+
+THE SUNDIAL, BRADING.--When clocks and watches were not common,
+a sundial was of great service to the public. This old dial, with
+its well-worn steps, is situated in the churchyard at the back of
+the Church, close to the footpath leading to the Vicarage. The
+view from the churchyard across to Bembridge Down is very pleasing.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pier, Sea View._]
+
+THE PIER, SEA VIEW.--This pretty little watering-place is rapidly
+rising into prominence as a fashionable resort. The Pier is an
+elegant structure suspended from piles, and affords an easy and
+rapid approach from Portsmouth and Southsea by steamboat, and during
+the summer there is a regular service of boats, as well as excursion
+traffic. There are also many coach and motor excursions from various
+parts of the island. Sea View is three miles from Ryde. Many pretty
+villas have recently been built to accommodate the increasing number
+of visitors.
+
+
+[Illustration: _View in Ventnor Park._]
+
+VIEW IN VENTNOR PARK.--The acquisition by the town of the site
+of the Park was a wise and good thing. The differences of level
+afford many advantages: those who like the sea breezes can walk
+on the upper promenade green where enchanting views of sea and
+land meet the eye at every point. Quiet nooks like that of the
+picture can be found in the lower and more sheltered grounds. The
+visitor can choose shade or sunshine at command. Alongside of careful
+culture of flowers and shrubs, wild nature also asserts itself,
+not having been ruthlessly suppressed.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Monk's Bay, Bonchurch._]
+
+MONK'S BAY, BONCHURCH.--This quiet retreat is at the Ventnor end
+of the Landslip and within a short distance of Old Bonchurch. The
+two thatched cottages are almost grown in, and the bright red cliff
+which forms the prominent feature consists of the topmost beds
+of the lower Greensand. The lower beds behind the cottage are of
+geological interest from the diversity of colour in the beds. The
+sands are white and firm, and there are rocks and pools where children
+love to play. Close by is the path leading through the Landslip to
+Shanklin.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Downs, Ventnor._]
+
+THE DOWNS, VENTNOR.--The elevation of the Downs above Ventnor affords
+an opportunity of enjoying most romantic and charming scenery, and
+of being refreshed with health-giving breezes. There are paths
+leading to Wroxall, also to Shanklin, unfolding a succession of
+views it would be difficult to rival. When the golden gorse and
+purple heather are in bloom it presents a glorious prospect to
+the vision. The footpath leading to the Downs is by the railway
+station, or access may be had from near the Cemetery. The prospect
+from the slopes of the Down toward the town and sea is very extensive
+and impressive.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Cascade, Ventnor._]
+
+THE CASCADE, VENTNOR.--It was a happy thought when the town acquired
+the triangle which includes the Cascade, the water of which once went
+to supply Ventnor Mill. By the planting of creeping plants, of monkey
+musk and a number of other beautiful flowers, this neglected corner
+has been turned into a garden of loveliness. It is like a little
+corner of Switzerland, and all within sight of a busy thoroughfare.
+The band plays on the green below to the sound of falling water.
+In the heat of summer the very sound of it is refreshing.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade from Rylstone._]
+
+SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews
+nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the
+Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot
+of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway
+on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade,
+with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of
+the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a
+safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating
+too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in
+the direction of Luccombe.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Old Church, Bonchurch._]
+
+THE OLD CHURCH, BONCHURCH.--In addition to the beautiful situation
+and the essential loveliness of the subject, Old Bonchurch has many
+associations of attraction. It is no longer used for services,
+except an occasional funeral. In the churchyard John Sterling's
+grave and the grave of the Rev. J. Adams, author of the "Shadow
+of the Cross," interest a great many visitors, the latter having
+a raised horizontal cross, which casts a shadow on the stone when
+the sun shines. The old porch is an object of beauty, crowned with
+roses and honeysuckle, the red tiled roof relieved with thick masses
+of ivy, while over it the tall elm-trees stand, as though to shelter
+it from every stormy blast.

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT

+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p class="justify">
+Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention of
+the travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possess
+attractions of very varied character. It has often been the theme
+of poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and the
+amateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever may
+be his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for the
+student of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees and
+streams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of the
+Landslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight in
+the interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest student
+of Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that within
+short distances many successive formations can be studied; the high
+inclination of the strata bringing to the surface the different
+formations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish great
+opportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here find
+an almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and ferns
+abound in great variety.
+</p>
+
+<p class="justify">
+To those who have never visited the Island, the accompanying
+illustrations will unfold sufficient of its beauty to give some
+idea of its resources. Being reproductions from actual photographs
+they may be relied upon as being true to Nature. There is great
+diversity in the scenery, and a holiday can be enjoyed amid its
+beauties which can scarcely be surpassed. It may be truly described
+as the Garden of England, and some of its scenes are here presented
+in the hope that those who inspect its beauties as here transcribed
+will be induced to visit and see it for themselves.

+STEEPHILL CASTLE, VENTNOR.&mdash;Within a mile of Ventnor, and
+close to the Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway,
+is Steephill Castle with its beautiful and extensive grounds. From
+every point outside the Castle is well embowered in trees, only
+the tower being visible. It was built in 1835 by I. Hambrough,
+Esq. The architectural features are well displayed from inside the
+garden. The view from the tower is very fine. In 1874 the Empress
+of Austria stayed here, and hunted with the Isle of Wight hounds
+during her visit. It is occupied at the present time by Mr. and
+Mrs. Morgan Richards, the parents of "John Oliver Hobbes" (Mrs.
+Craigie), who is a frequent visitor.

+APPULDURCOMBE ABBEY.&mdash;The ancient seat of the Worsley family,
+the present building was erected in the eighteenth century by Sir
+Robert Worsley. Here the Benedictine monks had a Priory in the time
+of Henry III. It was dissolved by Henry V, Sir Richard Worsley
+died in 1805, and the house became the property of the Earl of
+Yarborough, who had married the niece and heiress of the family.
+After being used as a school for many years, it is now occupied
+by Benedictine monks, In a beautiful park of four hundred acres,
+with a lofty down behind it, the house appears to be a well secluded
+and charming retreat. There is a public footpath through the meadow
+in front of the house.

+STEEPHILL COVE, NEAR VENTNOR.&mdash;Taking the cliff path from
+Ventnor to the west within a little more than a mile there opens
+out to view this pretty Cove. It is a place for painters, and its
+loveliness in all varieties of Nature's many moods, has found admirers.
+The cottages nestling under the banks, its parti-coloured gardens,
+with enclosing pebble walls, its boats and crab-pots, with the
+distant cliffs in succession, all combine in a composition that
+strikes the beholder with a conviction of its beauty.

+SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.&mdash;This favourite view, which
+shews nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance
+the Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the
+foot of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway
+on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade,
+with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of
+the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a
+safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating
+too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in

+the lawn is gay with a blaze of colour in the month of June. Now
+that Osborne has been made into a Naval College, the grounds are

+
+<p class="describe">
+THE POND, BONCHURCH.&mdash;One of the show places of the Isle of
+Wight known throughout the world by the lovely pictures that have been
+made of it. It has lately fallen into disrepute by the destruction
+of some of its beautiful trees, but more specially by the leakage
+of the pond which left it stagnant, dirty, and partly dry. This
+has now to a large extent been remedied, and the pond once more
+assumes its former aspect, giving reflection in its surface to
+the lovely forms of beautiful foliage with which it is overhung.
+The village is one mile from Ventnor.

+
+<p class="describe">
+ST. CATHERINE'S LIGHTHOUSE.&mdash;Formerly the Lighthouse stood
+upon the Downs, but the prevalence of sea mists during certain
+portions of the year which obscured the light, at last led to the
+erection of the present building near the margin of the sea. It
+is one of the most powerful lights in the world, sending its rays
+far out over the sea and land as it revolves. When the sea mists
+arise it has a powerful foghorn which can be heard for many miles.
+Close by is the reef at Rockenend, on which many a gallant ship
+has been broken up.

+FERNCLIFFE PLEASURE GARDENS, SANDOWN.&mdash;These beautiful grounds
+have lately been acquired by a syndicate of leading residents, with
+the view of their ultimate acquisition for the town. The house
+is available for refreshments, and the Gardens, which are well
+wooded, are pleasant to ramble in. There are little nooks and seats

+</p>
+
+<p class="describe">
+THE NEEDLES.&mdash;When walking on the Downs from freshwater to
+the Needles, following the path by the military fence, this picture
+of the Needles comes suddenly into view, and is a very impressive
+sight. The Needles themselves are stacks of upper chalk, with flints,
+and are the remains of an extension of the chalk. The cliffs here
+are about four hundred feet in height, and at their base the sea
+breaks frequently in a long surf line on the steep shingly shore.
+In calm weather visitors engage boatmen at Totland and Alum Bays to
+take them in boats through the Needles and land them in Scratchels
+Bay.

+
+<p class="describe">
+SHANKLIN OLD VILLAGE.&mdash;One of the most charming old-world
+pictures, which still retains its rustic simplicity. Multitudes of
+visitors from all parts of the world yearly visit this relic of Old
+Shanklin. Pretty thatched cottages can be seen in many parts of the
+Island, but nowhere is there such a combination, there being three
+different styles of roof in thatch, the setting in a background of
+trees completing the illusion of the country. In the angle where the
+figures stand is the rustic fountain on which hangs the shield with
+the verse written by the poet Longfellow when staying at Hollier's
+Hotel, Shanklin, in 1869.

+STONE BRIDGE IN SHANKLIN CHINE.&mdash;About half-way through the

+been drawn up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this

+CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.&mdash;This charming lane leads from Shanklin
+Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and
+within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful
+shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red
+and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant
+vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with
+Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip
+and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town.

+VIEW ACROSS THE FOOT OF SHANKLIN CHINE.&mdash;From the shelter
+of a pretty nook in which seats are provided, Shanklin sands and
+cliffs appear in all their exquisite beauty. A wide stretch of sand
+from the foot of the Chine to the fine cliffs of lower Greensand
+supplies a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the
+cliff is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up
+in the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls
+and roof of thatch, forms a pleasing subject in many a picture.
+Half-way to the cliff are steps leading up to Appley Cliff into

+one mass of ferns and foliage of varied form and colours. Quiet

+STONE SEAT&mdash;THE LANDSLIP.&mdash;The Landslip which lies between
+Shanklin and Ventnor is a favourite resort to the inhabitants and
+visitors of both places. The catastrophe that wrought this magic
+transformation has resulted in producing scenery of entrancing
+beauty. The efforts of Nature to cover and hide the deformities
+of riven rocks and yawning chasms have produced trees of fantastic
+shape and remarkable diversity. The broken rocks afford sustenance
+for many plants, the chloritic marl liberated making the ground
+wonderfully fertile. This stone seat forms a natural throne on
+which many parties have found a trysting-place. As it stands in
+the principal pathway it is a well-known resting-place.

+ON THE ROAD TO BLACKGANG.&mdash;"One of the most charming drives
+in England," is the verdict of many visitors to the far-famed
+Undercliff, as they go through shady groves and again emerge under
+the weather-worn craggy cliffs above the road. In spring the ground
+under the trees is carpeted with flowers, and the winding road
+uphill and down creates a transformation scene at every turn. There
+is no rest for the eye, and all the faculties are awake to enjoy
+a new sensation of delight as each corner in the road is turned.
+It is a perfect fairy land, and the rugged walls are half hidden
+by multitudes of plants which enhance the lights upon the stone.

+
+<p class="describe">
+WINDY CORNER&mdash;THE UNDERCLIFF.&mdash;One of the most romantic
+districts in the whole of England is the Undercliff, extending for
+five miles from Ventnor to Blackgang Chine. Its beauty has been
+caused by the slipping away of the Gault clay, letting down the
+masses of Upper Greensand rock. The chert beds of the cliff have been
+weathered out by wind and rain into forms of rugged beauty, while
+the broken and undulating ground below is filled with flowers and
+vegetation of the most wonderful and varied character, scattered rocks
+peeping out among the foliage furnishing bits of a most attractive
+character to the artist and photographer.

+
+<p class="describe">
+VENTNOR, LOOKING EAST.&mdash;The differences of elevation afford
+to most of the houses in Ventnor practically uninterrupted views
+of the sea. The sheltered nature of the site also furnishes a most
+congenial climate, in which plants and shrubs in great variety
+flourish. The horned poppy adorns the cliffs, and valerian and
+tamarisk thrive even during the winter months. Its peculiarities
+of climate and position render it a highly favourable residence
+for invalids throughout the year. It would be difficult to name any

+with bright green samphire, while the gardens below, with the miniature

+fine. The cliffs in the middle distance consist of the sands and

+THE FLOATING BRIDGE, COWES.&mdash;East Cowes is reached by crossing
+in this bridge, which goes backwards and forwards across the mouth
+of the Medina, conveying carts, carriages, coaches, and motor cars,
+as well as passengers. It works on chains which pass under it,
+fastened to the shore at each end. It is a novel experience to
+many people when they find the coachman drive his four-horse coach
+full of passengers down the slope on to the bridge, and then off
+again at the other side.

+WHIPPINGHAM CHURCH.&mdash;About a mile south of Osborne is Whippingham
+Church, a cruciform structure from designs furnished by the late
+Prince Consort. Before a private Chapel was added at Osborne the
+Royal Family often attended. The aisles which contain seats for
+the Royal Household are divided from the Chancel by ornamented
+arcades. The north aisle is converted into a Mortuary Chapel in
+memory of Prince Henry of Battenberg. Mural tablets to Princess
+Alice, the Duke of Albany, and a medallion bust to the Prince Consort
+have been erected by Her late Majesty; also a medallion to Sir
+Henry Ponsonby, whose tomb is in the Churchyard. From the back
+of the Church there is a fine view of the river Medina, looking
+towards Newport, the capital of the Island.

+out into the wide open expanse of Esplanade, it is a great relief.
+The Marine Hotel forms a prominent object. East Cowes is to be seen

+ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON CLUB HOUSE, COWES.&mdash;The Club House was
+originally one of the fortresses built by Henry VIII. for the defence
+of the Island. In the time of Charles I. it became a prison. It
+is now rented from the Commissioners of Woods and forests by the
+Club. It is a scene of gaiety and animation during the first week
+in August, which is the Cowes week of the season. Crowds gather
+near the slipway to see the royal and noble passengers land when
+the yachting season is on. The Causeway leads to the Green which
+is crowded during the racing. On fireworks-night this thoroughfare
+is densely packed from end to end.

+HIGH STREET AND QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL, NEWPORT.&mdash;The ancient
+borough of Newport is the capital of the Island. Its streets are
+usually busy, and on market days are quite gay and animated. The
+County Petty Sessional Court is held every Saturday in the Town
+Hall, which is also the meeting-place of the Town Council. The
+Isle of Wight County Council meets at the Technical Institute,
+as does also the Education Authority. In the same building is the
+Free Library, the gift of Sir Charles Seeley, Bart., who also pays
+the librarian's salary, with the water rent secured from the Town
+Council for the splendid supply, recently acquired from the estate
+of Sir Charles at Bowcombe. The Diamond Jubilee Memorial to Her

+Her Royal Highness received an address of congratulation from the
+inhabitants of the Isle of Wight. Newport contains the old Grammar
+School where Charles I. held his conference with representatives of
+the Parliament, and many other buildings of historical interest.
+The monument to the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Charles I.,

+STEPS TO THE KEEP, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.&mdash;As a memorial of a
+bygone age how interesting are the steps to the keep, the last
+resort of the besieged, from which it would be difficult to dislodge
+them, without great loss. The well which furnished them with water
+is now dry, but can still be seen. The battlements furnish the
+visitor with a magnificent view of the country in every direction.
+The steps, seventy-two in number, are somewhat steep. The walls
+are covered with climbing plants. Shelter is afforded by trees and

+
+<p class="describe">
+CARISBROOKE VILLAGE.&mdash;The village of Carisbrooke is beautifully
+situated. The Church, embowered among the trees, stands on an elevated
+site close to the Priory, with which it was associated. The Chancel
+was destroyed in Queen Elizabeth's reign by Lord Walsingham, whose
+obligation it was to have kept it in repair. The Pulpit is a relic
+of Puritan times, dated 1658, very small and plain. It was evidently
+not intended for the preacher to sit down, as nails stick up in
+the very small seat. The Lukely stream runs through the village.
+The view here shown is taken from the Beech Grove, a very beautiful
+walk leading to Carisbrooke Castle.

+
+<p class="describe">
+QUARR ABBEY, W. RYDE.&mdash;The distance of the Abbey from Ryde
+is about three miles. It is a favourite walk from Spencer Road,
+vi&acirc; The Lovers' Walk, past Binstead Church, through Quarr
+Wood. This portion is occupied as a farm, but remains of the old
+Abbey are scattered about, portions still standing to testify its
+extent and importance. The walk may be continued through the archway
+on to Fishbourne. In the wood the daffodil is plentiful, primroses,
+lungwort, and the blue iris also abound in their season. The Wood
+has been very extensively quarried for the limestone, with which
+Winchester Cathedral and many Churches were built. There are pathways
+through the Wood down to the shore, forming very pleasing vistas
+through the overhanging trees.

+
+<p class="describe">
+SPENCER ROAD, RYDE.&mdash;It is an advantage for a town to possess
+pleasant shady walks within a short distance of its main streets.
+Ryde is favoured in this respect. Within five minutes' walk from
+the Town Hall, passing St. James' Church, is Spencer Road. It is
+a favourite promenade, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
+A morning stroll in spring when birds are singing from every bush
+and tree is very delightful. It is a fine avenue extending several
+hundred yards and opening out into the main road to Newport. By
+entering the gate on the right at the junction, the walk may be
+continued past Binstead Church through Quarr Wood to Quarr Abbey.

+
+<p class="describe">
+RYDE, FROM THE PIER.&mdash;The situation of the town is favourable
+as a principal entrance to the Island, the passage from Portsmouth
+by steamboat occupying about twenty minutes. The Pier (toll 2d.) is
+4,000 feet in length, and is in three portions&mdash;for pedestrians
+and boating, electric railway, and the Isle of Wight Railway. There
+is a fine pavilion and bandstand at the end. Crowds of people find
+a never failing source of interest on the pier, yachting, boating,
+and fishing. On summer afternoons it is a gay and charming scene.
+The town is built on a gentle slope, and the houses command fine
+and extensive views. It has the largest population of any town
+in the Island, about 11,000 inhabitants.

+APLEY TOWER, RYDE.&mdash;Within one and a half miles of Ryde the

+Vale and Sea View. The wall furnishes a means of defence against the
+encroachment of the sea, as well as a thoroughfare for pedestrian
+traffic. Bicycles are also used on it to some extent. When the tide
+is out a wide stretch of sands is exposed, and crowds of children
+use it as a pleasure ground, finding beautiful seaweed and shells.
+The walk can be continued round the further point into Sea View.

+<p class="describe">
+TOTLAND BAY.&mdash;This charming resort has sprung into prominence
+and grown very fast during the last few years. Many of the houses
+are very picturesque and beautiful for situation, most of them with
+red-tiled roofs, which when toned a little more by time will be
+very beautiful among the trees. There is a pier, and during summer
+a regular service of boats from Lymington, as well as excursion
+traffic. The beach is steep and so you can bathe at any state of
+the tide. A reading-room on the shore is much patronised. The Green
+Cliff Walk is very delightful, and as the channel here is narrow
+there is a never-failing interest in the ships that pass in and out
+quite near. The front lacks shade in the hottest days of summer.
+It has great interest for the geological student, being close to
+Headon Hill and Alum Bay.

+for promenading, which in the season is well patronised. In this
+view the grounds of Ferncliff can be seen behind the Arcade Bazaar,
+and there is a cliff path to Shanklin on the top. The picturesque
+fishing village lies under the cliff, slightly to the west. Sandown
+Railway Station is a junction with the Isle of Wight and I.W. Central

+crowds of admirers of the late Laureate. Tennyson loved retirement,

+During the bright days of summer the sea breaks in gentle murmur
+on the sand and shingle of the beach, but in winter when lashed
+by S.W. Gales "it tumbles a billow on chalk and sand." The roar
+of the ocean can be heard for miles inland. The esplanade shown in
+the picture has been destroyed by the breakers. Temporary repairs
+have been effected, but a fierce controversy is still raging as
+to the ultimate solution of the question, how to prevent further

+front is covered with greenery, a fine magnolia growing round and
+over the front door. From under the lateral branches of a fine
+spreading cedar tree the Poet could look into Freshwater Bay and
+yet himself not be seen. The park-like grounds are pleasant to
+walk in, and are open to the inspection of visitors on Thursdays
+at certain seasons. In his poem of invitation to Rev. F. D. Maurice
+in 1854 he well describes it:

+country&mdash;a good example of Early Perpendicular architecture,
+a cruciform structure having two equal aisles of its whole length,
+with a fine pinnacled tower and sancte-bell turret in the south
+transept gable. The tower has been recently rebuilt, having been
+shattered in a thunderstorm in January, 1904, when the clock face was
+torn out and thrown out into the churchyard. It contains monuments
+to the Worsley family and the tomb of Sir John Leigh; also a fine

+LITTLE JANE'S COTTAGE, BRADING.&mdash;This cottage still retains
+its original appearance with thatched roof and diamond window-panes,
+a real old-fashioned Isle of Wight cottage, many of which are fast
+disappearing. The little forecourt and garden are well kept. The
+greenery covering the front, of plants of great variety, from the

+and land meet the eye at every point. Quiet nooks like that of

+views it would be difficult to rival. When the golden gorse and

+this neglected corner has been turned into a garden of loveliness.
+It is like a little corner of Switzerland, and all within sight

+grave and the grave of the Rev. J. Adams, author of the "Shadow
+of the Cross," interest a great many visitors, the latter having
+a raised horizontal cross, which casts a shadow on the stone when
+the sun shines. The old porch is an object of beauty, crowned with

+of ivy, while over it the tall elm-trees stand, as though to shelter
+it from every stormy blast.

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no
+one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation
+(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without
+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to
+protect the PROJECT GUTENBERG-tm concept and trademark.  Project
+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do
+practically ANYTHING with public domain eBooks.  Redistribution is
+subject to the trademark license, especially commercial
+redistribution.

+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.

+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+Foreword.
+
+Among the numerous holiday resorts which claim the attention of
+the travelling public, the Isle of Wight will be found to possess
+attractions of very varied character. It has often been the theme
+of poets and the delight of artists. The student of art and the
+amateur photographer can find subjects in variety, whatever may
+be his peculiar line of study. The noble cliffs and bays for the
+student of coast scenery; old mills and cottages, with trees and
+streams, for the lover of sylvan beauty. The rugged grandeur of the
+Landslip and Undercliff will furnish subjects that yield delight in
+the interpretation of their romantic interest. The earnest student
+of Geology will find enhanced interest in the fact that within
+short distances many successive formations can be studied; the high
+inclination of the strata bringing to the surface the different
+formations. The gentle undulations of the land also furnish great
+opportunities for pictorial expression. The Botanist may here find
+an almost inexhaustible store of treasures. Wild flowers and ferns
+abound in great variety.
+
+To those who have never visited the Island, the accompanying
+illustrations will unfold sufficient of its beauty to give some
+idea of its resources. Being reproductions from actual photographs
+they may be relied upon as being true to Nature. There is great
+diversity in the scenery, and a holiday can be enjoyed amid its
+beauties which can scarcely be surpassed. It may be truly described
+as the Garden of England, and some of its scenes are here presented
+in the hope that those who inspect its beauties as here transcribed
+will be induced to visit and see it for themselves.
+
+
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steephill Castle, Ventnor._]
+
+STEEPHILL CASTLE, VENTNOR.--Within a mile of Ventnor, and close to
+the Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway, is Steephill
+Castle with its beautiful and extensive grounds. From every point
+outside the Castle is well embowered in trees, only the tower being
+visible. It was built in 1835 by I. Hambrough, Esq. The architectural
+features are well displayed from inside the garden. The view from
+the tower is very fine. In 1874 the Empress of Austria stayed here,
+and hunted with the Isle of Wight hounds during her visit. It is
+occupied at the present time by Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Richards, the
+parents of "John Oliver Hobbes" (Mrs. Craigie), who is a frequent
+visitor.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Appuldurcombe Abbey._]
+
+APPULDURCOMBE ABBEY.--The ancient seat of the Worsley family, the
+present building was erected in the eighteenth century by Sir Robert
+Worsley. Here the Benedictine monks had a Priory in the time of
+Henry III. It was dissolved by Henry V, Sir Richard Worsley died in
+1805, and the house became the property of the Earl of Yarborough,
+who had married the niece and heiress of the family. After being
+used as a school for many years, it is now occupied by Benedictine
+monks, In a beautiful park of four hundred acres, with a lofty down
+behind it, the house appears to be a well secluded and charming
+retreat. There is a public footpath through the meadow in front
+of the house.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steephill Cove, near Ventnor._]
+
+STEEPHILL COVE, NEAR VENTNOR.--Taking the cliff path from Ventnor
+to the west within a little more than a mile there opens out to view
+this pretty Cove. It is a place for painters, and its loveliness
+in all varieties of Nature's many moods, has found admirers. The
+cottages nestling under the banks, its parti-coloured gardens,
+with enclosing pebble walls, its boats and crab-pots, with the
+distant cliffs in succession, all combine in a composition that
+strikes the beholder with a conviction of its beauty.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade, from Rylstone._]
+
+SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews
+nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the
+Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot
+of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway
+on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade,
+with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of
+the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a
+safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating
+too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in
+the direction of Luccombe.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Gateway, Carisbrooke Castle._]
+
+GATEWAY, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--This noble gateway tower was erected
+by Anthony Woodville, Lord Scales, in the year 1464, and is still
+in good preservation. The outer gateway was erected in the time of
+Queen Elizabeth, when a great extension of the grounds enclosed
+was made.
+
+ "The battled towers, the dungeon keep,
+  The loop-hole grates where captives weep,
+  The flanking walls that round it sweep
+  In yellow lustre shone." (Scott).
+
+The old massive doors have been removed recently and replaced by
+a lighter structure.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Osborne House Terrace._]
+
+OSBORNE HOUSE.--This view of Osborne from the south lawn is the
+most picturesque, and gives the late Queen's apartments standing
+out in bold relief in the centre of the picture. The terraces below
+adorn the building, and the rosary which extends on the right to
+the lawn is gay with a blaze of colour in the month of June. Now
+that Osborne has been made into a Naval College, the grounds are
+open to visitors on Fridays in the winter, and on Tuesdays and
+Fridays in the summer season; it is visited by many thousands during
+the year.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pond, Bonchurch._]
+
+THE POND, BONCHURCH.--One of the show places of the Isle of Wight
+known throughout the world by the lovely pictures that have been
+made of it. It has lately fallen into disrepute by the destruction
+of some of its beautiful trees, but more specially by the leakage
+of the pond which left it stagnant, dirty, and partly dry. This
+has now to a large extent been remedied, and the pond once more
+assumes its former aspect, giving reflection in its surface to
+the lovely forms of beautiful foliage with which it is overhung.
+The village is one mile from Ventnor.
+
+
+[Illustration: _St. Catherine's Lighthouse._]
+
+ST. CATHERINE'S LIGHTHOUSE.--Formerly the Lighthouse stood upon
+the Downs, but the prevalence of sea mists during certain portions
+of the year which obscured the light, at last led to the erection
+of the present building near the margin of the sea. It is one of
+the most powerful lights in the world, sending its rays far out
+over the sea and land as it revolves. When the sea mists arise it
+has a powerful foghorn which can be heard for many miles. Close
+by is the reef at Rockenend, on which many a gallant ship has been
+broken up.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ferncliffe Pleasure Gardens, Sandown._]
+
+FERNCLIFFE PLEASURE GARDENS, SANDOWN.--These beautiful grounds
+have lately been acquired by a syndicate of leading residents,
+with the view of their ultimate acquisition for the town. The house
+is available for refreshments, and the Gardens, which are well
+wooded, are pleasant to ramble in. There are little nooks and seats
+overlooking the bay in several directions. It is already proving
+a great attraction to the town.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Needles._]
+
+THE NEEDLES.--When walking on the Downs from freshwater to the
+Needles, following the path by the military fence, this picture
+of the Needles comes suddenly into view, and is a very impressive
+sight. The Needles themselves are stacks of upper chalk, with flints,
+and are the remains of an extension of the chalk. The cliffs here
+are about four hundred feet in height, and at their base the sea
+breaks frequently in a long surf line on the steep shingly shore.
+In calm weather visitors engage boatmen at Totland and Alum Bays to
+take them in boats through the Needles and land them in Scratchels
+Bay.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Old Village._]
+
+SHANKLIN OLD VILLAGE.--One of the most charming old-world pictures,
+which still retains its rustic simplicity. Multitudes of visitors
+from all parts of the world yearly visit this relic of Old Shanklin.
+Pretty thatched cottages can be seen in many parts of the Island,
+but nowhere is there such a combination, there being three different
+styles of roof in thatch, the setting in a background of trees
+completing the illusion of the country. In the angle where the
+figures stand is the rustic fountain on which hangs the shield with
+the verse written by the poet Longfellow when staying at Hollier's
+Hotel, Shanklin, in 1869.
+
+  "O traveller, stay thy weary feet,
+   Drink of this fountain cool and sweet,
+     It flows for rich and poor the same:
+   Then go thy way, remembering still
+   The wayside well beneath the hill,
+     The cup of water in His name."
+
+
+[Illustration: _Stone Bridge in Shanklin Chine._]
+
+STONE BRIDGE IN SHANKLIN CHINE.--About half-way through the Chine
+the ravine is spanned by an arched Stone Bridge which, in conjunction
+with the steep banks with trees and ferns, makes a fine pictorial
+effect. Many of the trees are a great height, having been drawn
+up in seeking the light above the cliffs, which in this place are
+a considerable height. The stream flows along the narrow channel
+under the bridge.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Chine Hollow, Shanklin._]
+
+CHINE HOLLOW, SHANKLIN.--This charming lane leads from Shanklin
+Chine direct to the Landslip. Close to the head of the Chine and
+within two minutes' walk of the Old Village it forms a beautiful
+shady retreat on a summer day. The steep banks are of bright red
+and yellow sandrock beds, out of which trees have grown and verdant
+vegetation has found a footing until the whole is covered with
+Nature's mantle of beauty. The view is taken coming from the Landslip
+and looking towards the Chine, Old Village, and town.
+
+
+[Illustration: _View Across the Foot of Shanklin Chine._]
+
+VIEW ACROSS THE FOOT OF SHANKLIN CHINE.--From the shelter of a
+pretty nook in which seats are provided, Shanklin sands and cliffs
+appear in all their exquisite beauty. A wide stretch of sand from
+the foot of the Chine to the fine cliffs of lower Greensand supplies
+a playground for multitudes of happy children. Under the cliff
+is a happy camping-ground, in which numerous tents are put up in
+the season. The fisherman's cottage, with its rough stone walls
+and roof of thatch, forms a pleasing subject in many a picture.
+Half-way to the cliff are steps leading up to Appley Cliff into
+the village, or on to the Landslip.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Chine._]
+
+SHANKLIN CHINE.--A scene of sylvan loveliness beyond description.
+Winding paths extending from the shore for about one hundred yards,
+through one continuous bower of beauty, bring you to the head where
+in the wet season there is a cascade. In the summer the banks are
+one mass of ferns and foliage of varied form and colours. Quiet
+nooks are to be found where, during the heat of the day, a book
+can be enjoyed in the cool shade of the trees. Shanklin has the
+reputation of being the cleanest town in England. It is certainly
+the most beautiful in the Isle of Wight.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Stone Seat--The Landslip._]
+
+STONE SEAT--THE LANDSLIP.--The Landslip which lies between Shanklin
+and Ventnor is a favourite resort to the inhabitants and visitors of
+both places. The catastrophe that wrought this magic transformation
+has resulted in producing scenery of entrancing beauty. The efforts
+of Nature to cover and hide the deformities of riven rocks and
+yawning chasms have produced trees of fantastic shape and remarkable
+diversity. The broken rocks afford sustenance for many plants, the
+chloritic marl liberated making the ground wonderfully fertile.
+This stone seat forms a natural throne on which many parties have
+found a trysting-place. As it stands in the principal pathway it
+is a well-known resting-place.
+
+
+[Illustration: _On the Road to Blackgang._]
+
+ON THE ROAD TO BLACKGANG.--"One of the most charming drives in
+England," is the verdict of many visitors to the far-famed Undercliff,
+as they go through shady groves and again emerge under the weather-worn
+craggy cliffs above the road. In spring the ground under the trees
+is carpeted with flowers, and the winding road uphill and down
+creates a transformation scene at every turn. There is no rest for
+the eye, and all the faculties are awake to enjoy a new sensation
+of delight as each corner in the road is turned. It is a perfect
+fairy land, and the rugged walls are half hidden by multitudes
+of plants which enhance the lights upon the stone.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Windy Corner--The Undercliff._]
+
+WINDY CORNER--THE UNDERCLIFF.--One of the most romantic districts
+in the whole of England is the Undercliff, extending for five miles
+from Ventnor to Blackgang Chine. Its beauty has been caused by the
+slipping away of the Gault clay, letting down the masses of Upper
+Greensand rock. The chert beds of the cliff have been weathered
+out by wind and rain into forms of rugged beauty, while the broken
+and undulating ground below is filled with flowers and vegetation
+of the most wonderful and varied character, scattered rocks peeping
+out among the foliage furnishing bits of a most attractive character
+to the artist and photographer.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, looking East._]
+
+VENTNOR, LOOKING EAST.--The differences of elevation afford to
+most of the houses in Ventnor practically uninterrupted views of
+the sea. The sheltered nature of the site also furnishes a most
+congenial climate, in which plants and shrubs in great variety
+flourish. The horned poppy adorns the cliffs, and valerian and
+tamarisk thrive even during the winter months. Its peculiarities
+of climate and position render it a highly favourable residence
+for invalids throughout the year. It would be difficult to name any
+place of equal extent and variety of surface, or of equal beauty
+in point of scenery--so completely screened from the cutting N.E.
+winds of spring.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, from the Sea._]
+
+VENTNOR, FROM THE SEA.--Built on the slopes of the hill, Ventnor
+presents from the sea a remarkable and magnificent picture. Each
+house being at a different elevation, commands sunshine all the
+day. Sheltered from the cold wind, trees and flowers flourish and
+retain their beauty during the winter. When the golden gorse and
+purple heather are in bloom upon the downs it forms a most attractive
+scene. Steamboat trips daily during the summer furnish the visitors
+with abundant opportunities of enjoying this vision of beauty. The
+Railway Station lies between the hills behind the Church spire.
+The Town Station of the Isle of Wight Central Railway lies to the
+left beyond the Park.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ventnor, looking West._]
+
+VENTNOR, LOOKING WEST.--From this point Ventnor is beautiful both
+in summer and in winter. The setting sun on a winter day is a sight
+worth travelling far to see, and in summer the white chalk cliffs
+of the foreground are clothed with crimson valerian, mingled with
+bright green samphire, while the gardens below, with the miniature
+lake, are full of colour. These effects, together with the houses
+perched on every conceivable vantage point of rock and surrounded
+with vegetation of varied hue, make up a picture of entrancing
+beauty. There is a good Pier for promenading and fishing as well
+as for steamboat excursions.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Old Oak Tree--The Landslip._]
+
+OLD OAK TREE--THE LANDSLIP.--This is one of the many specimens
+of fantastic growth to be found in the Landslip, and is a great
+contrast to the tall and stately beech trees that grow in the Cloisters
+nearer to the upper cliff. It resembles very much the serpent-tree
+which was painted by Turner. This part of the Landslip is full of
+great diversities of form and situation, some appearing to grow
+direct out of the rocks. The white scented violet grows here in
+great profusion in April.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Blackgang Chine._]
+
+BLACKGANG CHINE.--This view of Blackgang exhibits its wild and
+rugged grandeur. The cliffs rise to a height of four hundred feet
+above sea level. The surf-line breaking on the red beach far below
+on the left, with the broad expanse of sea beyond, is very fine.
+The cliffs in the middle distance consist of the sands and clays
+of the lower Greensand formation, and are constantly falling and
+being eroded by the waves. The breakers on the shore at Blackgang
+are very grand in stormy weather, the beach being very steep and
+the water deep outside, a great volume rolls in with magnificent
+effect and thunderous sound. Geologically it is of great interest,
+the beds of the lower Greensand being more fully developed here
+than elsewhere, a thickness of almost eight hundred feet being
+exhibited in this neighbourhood.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Swiss Cottage, Osborne._]
+
+SWISS COTTAGE, OSBORNE.--The grounds of Osborne House contain five
+thousand acres, the lawn sloping down to the sea adjoining the
+grounds of Norris Castle. A sheltered portion of the garden contains
+a large number of trees and shrubs from Indian and foreign climes.
+In the vicinity of this Indian garden is Swiss Cottage, forming
+an architectural contrast to Osborne House, and surrounded with
+trees and flowers that make it appear quite a little paradise.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Floating Bridge, Cowes._]
+
+THE FLOATING BRIDGE, COWES.--East Cowes is reached by crossing in
+this bridge, which goes backwards and forwards across the mouth
+of the Medina, conveying carts, carriages, coaches, and motor cars,
+as well as passengers. It works on chains which pass under it,
+fastened to the shore at each end. It is a novel experience to
+many people when they find the coachman drive his four-horse coach
+full of passengers down the slope on to the bridge, and then off
+again at the other side.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Whippingham Church._]
+
+WHIPPINGHAM CHURCH.--About a mile south of Osborne is Whippingham
+Church, a cruciform structure from designs furnished by the late
+Prince Consort. Before a private Chapel was added at Osborne the
+Royal Family often attended. The aisles which contain seats for
+the Royal Household are divided from the Chancel by ornamented
+arcades. The north aisle is converted into a Mortuary Chapel in
+memory of Prince Henry of Battenberg. Mural tablets to Princess
+Alice, the Duke of Albany, and a medallion bust to the Prince Consort
+have been erected by Her late Majesty; also a medallion to Sir
+Henry Ponsonby, whose tomb is in the Churchyard. From the back
+of the Church there is a fine view of the river Medina, looking
+towards Newport, the capital of the Island.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pier, Cowes._]
+
+THE PIER, COWES.--The new Pier and Esplanade from an attractive
+feature at Cowes. When emerging from its narrow streets you come
+out into the wide open expanse of Esplanade, it is a great relief.
+The Marine Hotel forms a prominent object. East Cowes is to be seen
+in the distance. This view is taken from close to the entrance to
+the Royal Yacht Squadron Grounds and Landing Stage.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Royal Yacht Squadron Club House, Cowes._]
+
+ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON CLUB HOUSE, COWES.--The Club House was originally
+one of the fortresses built by Henry VIII. for the defence of the
+Island. In the time of Charles I. it became a prison. It is now
+rented from the Commissioners of Woods and forests by the Club.
+It is a scene of gaiety and animation during the first week in
+August, which is the Cowes week of the season. Crowds gather near
+the slipway to see the royal and noble passengers land when the
+yachting season is on. The Causeway leads to the Green which is
+crowded during the racing. On fireworks-night this thoroughfare
+is densely packed from end to end.
+
+
+[Illustration: _High Street and Queen Victoria Memorial, Newport._]
+
+HIGH STREET AND QUEEN VICTORIA MEMORIAL, NEWPORT.--The ancient
+borough of Newport is the capital of the Island. Its streets are
+usually busy, and on market days are quite gay and animated. The
+County Petty Sessional Court is held every Saturday in the Town
+Hall, which is also the meeting-place of the Town Council. The
+Isle of Wight County Council meets at the Technical Institute,
+as does also the Education Authority. In the same building is the
+Free Library, the gift of Sir Charles Seeley, Bart., who also pays
+the librarian's salary, with the water rent secured from the Town
+Council for the splendid supply, recently acquired from the estate
+of Sir Charles at Bowcombe. The Diamond Jubilee Memorial to Her
+late Majesty is erected on the spot where at the Jubilee, in 1887,
+Her Royal Highness received an address of congratulation from the
+inhabitants of the Isle of Wight. Newport contains the old Grammar
+School where Charles I. held his conference with representatives of
+the Parliament, and many other buildings of historical interest.
+The monument to the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Charles I.,
+is in St. Thomas' Church.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Steps to the Keep, Carisbrooke Castle._]
+
+STEPS TO THE KEEP, CARISBROOKE CASTLE.--As a memorial of a bygone
+age how interesting are the steps to the keep, the last resort of
+the besieged, from which it would be difficult to dislodge them,
+without great loss. The well which furnished them with water is now
+dry, but can still be seen. The battlements furnish the visitor
+with a magnificent view of the country in every direction. The
+steps, seventy-two in number, are somewhat steep. The walls are
+covered with climbing plants. Shelter is afforded by trees and
+bushes, while access is given at the back of the ancient buildings
+in the Castle, to facilitate escape in case of surprise.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Carisbrooke Village._]
+
+CARISBROOKE VILLAGE.--The village of Carisbrooke is beautifully
+situated. The Church, embowered among the trees, stands on an elevated
+site close to the Priory, with which it was associated. The Chancel
+was destroyed in Queen Elizabeth's reign by Lord Walsingham, whose
+obligation it was to have kept it in repair. The Pulpit is a relic
+of Puritan times, dated 1658, very small and plain. It was evidently
+not intended for the preacher to sit down, as nails stick up in
+the very small seat. The Lukely stream runs through the village.
+The view here shown is taken from the Beech Grove, a very beautiful
+walk leading to Carisbrooke Castle.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Quarr Abbey, W. Ryde._]
+
+QUARR ABBEY, W. RYDE.--The distance of the Abbey from Ryde is about
+three miles. It is a favourite walk from Spencer Road, via The
+Lovers' Walk, past Binstead Church, through Quarr Wood. This portion
+is occupied as a farm, but remains of the old Abbey are scattered
+about, portions still standing to testify its extent and importance.
+The walk may be continued through the archway on to Fishbourne. In
+the wood the daffodil is plentiful, primroses, lungwort, and the blue
+iris also abound in their season. The Wood has been very extensively
+quarried for the limestone, with which Winchester Cathedral and
+many Churches were built. There are pathways through the Wood down
+to the shore, forming very pleasing vistas through the overhanging
+trees.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Spencer Road, Ryde._]
+
+SPENCER ROAD, RYDE.--It is an advantage for a town to possess pleasant
+shady walks within a short distance of its main streets. Ryde is
+favoured in this respect. Within five minutes' walk from the Town
+Hall, passing St. James' Church, is Spencer Road. It is a favourite
+promenade, enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. A morning stroll
+in spring when birds are singing from every bush and tree is very
+delightful. It is a fine avenue extending several hundred yards
+and opening out into the main road to Newport. By entering the
+gate on the right at the junction, the walk may be continued past
+Binstead Church through Quarr Wood to Quarr Abbey.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Ryde, from the Pier._]
+
+RYDE, FROM THE PIER.--The situation of the town is favourable as
+a principal entrance to the Island, the passage from Portsmouth
+by steamboat occupying about twenty minutes. The Pier (toll 2d.)
+is 4,000 feet in length, and is in three portions--for pedestrians
+and boating, electric railway, and the Isle of Wight Railway. There
+is a fine pavilion and bandstand at the end. Crowds of people find
+a never failing source of interest on the pier, yachting, boating,
+and fishing. On summer afternoons it is a gay and charming scene.
+The town is built on a gentle slope, and the houses command fine
+and extensive views. It has the largest population of any town
+in the Island, about 11,000 inhabitants.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Apley Tower, Ryde._]
+
+APLEY TOWER, RYDE.--Within one and a half miles of Ryde the wall
+is a continuation of the Esplanade in the direction of Spring Vale
+and Sea View. The wall furnishes a means of defence against the
+encroachment of the sea, as well as a thoroughfare for pedestrian
+traffic. Bicycles are also used on it to some extent. When the tide
+is out a wide stretch of sands is exposed, and crowds of children
+use it as a pleasure ground, finding beautiful seaweed and shells.
+The walk can be continued round the further point into Sea View.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Totland Bay._]
+
+TOTLAND BAY.--This charming resort has sprung into prominence and
+grown very fast during the last few years. Many of the houses are
+very picturesque and beautiful for situation, most of them with
+red-tiled roofs, which when toned a little more by time will be
+very beautiful among the trees. There is a pier, and during summer
+a regular service of boats from Lymington, as well as excursion
+traffic. The beach is steep and so you can bathe at any state of
+the tide. A reading-room on the shore is much patronised. The Green
+Cliff Walk is very delightful, and as the channel here is narrow
+there is a never-failing interest in the ships that pass in and out
+quite near. The front lacks shade in the hottest days of summer.
+It has great interest for the geological student, being close to
+Headon Hill and Alum Bay.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Sandown, looking West._]
+
+SANDOWN, LOOKING WEST.--Sandown is celebrated for its fine stretch
+of sands which are easy of access, and forms an extensive pleasure
+ground for the children. There is also a fine esplanade for promenading,
+which in the season is well patronised. In this view the grounds
+of Ferncliff can be seen behind the Arcade Bazaar, and there is a
+cliff path to Shanklin on the top. The picturesque fishing village
+lies under the cliff, slightly to the west. Sandown Railway Station
+is a junction with the Isle of Wight and I.W. Central Railway.
+Near the station is the celebrated Secondary School of the Isle
+of Wight Education Authority.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Tennyson's Avenue, Freshwater._]
+
+TENNYSON'S AVENUE, FRESHWATER.--Leading from the main road, near
+Stark's Hotel, is a lane giving access to the Downs and leading
+to the Avenue, across which is a small wooden bridge connecting
+Lord Tennyson's grounds. A quiet, secluded spot yet visited by
+crowds of admirers of the late Laureate. Tennyson loved retirement,
+and in scenes like these, surrounded with the loveliness of Nature,
+the breathings of his genius found full and free expression. The
+lane may be pursued under the bridge past the farm into the Alum
+Bay Road.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Freshwater Bay._]
+
+FRESHWATER BAY.--To those who desire to escape from the noise and
+traffic of the city, Freshwater Bay affords a delightful retreat.
+During the bright days of summer the sea breaks in gentle murmur
+on the sand and shingle of the beach, but in winter when lashed
+by S.W. Gales "it tumbles a billow on chalk and sand." The roar
+of the ocean can be heard for miles inland. The esplanade shown in
+the picture has been destroyed by the breakers. Temporary repairs
+have been effected, but a fierce controversy is still raging as
+to the ultimate solution of the question, how to prevent further
+encroachment, and the L.G.B. has been appealed to for help.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Farringford, Freshwater, Lord Tennyson's Residence._]
+
+FARRINGFORD, FRESHWATER, LORD TENNYSON'S RESIDENCE.--The residence
+of the late Laureate is in the neighbourhood between freshwater
+Gate and Alum Bay, secluded by trees almost to invisibility. The
+front is covered with greenery, a fine magnolia growing round and
+over the front door. From under the lateral branches of a fine
+spreading cedar tree the Poet could look into Freshwater Bay and
+yet himself not be seen. The park-like grounds are pleasant to
+walk in, and are open to the inspection of visitors on Thursdays
+at certain seasons. In his poem of invitation to Rev. F. D. Maurice
+in 1854 he well describes it:
+
+  "Where far from smoke and noise of town,
+   I watch the twilight falling brown,
+   All round a careless order'd garden,
+   Close to the ridge of a noble down."
+
+
+[Illustration: _Godshill Church._]
+
+GODSHILL CHURCH.--Built in a striking and conspicuous situation,
+Godshill Church is visible from many distant points of the surrounding
+country--a good example of Early Perpendicular architecture, a
+cruciform structure having two equal aisles of its whole length,
+with a fine pinnacled tower and sancte-bell turret in the south
+transept gable. The tower has been recently rebuilt, having been
+shattered in a thunderstorm in January, 1904, when the clock face was
+torn out and thrown out into the churchyard. It contains monuments
+to the Worsley family and the tomb of Sir John Leigh; also a fine
+painting, of the school of Rubens, of Daniel in the Lions' Den.
+There are tea-gardens in the village for the accommodation of the
+numerous visitors who throng there from Shanklin, Sandown, and
+other places in the vicinity. There is also the old village inn,
+the Griffon.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Little Jane's Cottage, Brading._]
+
+LITTLE JANE'S COTTAGE, BRADING.--This cottage still retains its
+original appearance with thatched roof and diamond window-panes,
+a real old-fashioned Isle of Wight cottage, many of which are fast
+disappearing. The little forecourt and garden are well kept. The
+greenery covering the front, of plants of great variety, from the
+yellow jessamine to the red fuchsia, with flowers under and around
+the windows, combine in completing a picture of great beauty. Here
+Jane the young cottager lived when Rev. Legh Richmond was Vicar
+of Brading in the early part of last century. Her tombstone is
+at the back of Brading Church.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Sundial, Brading._]
+
+THE SUNDIAL, BRADING.--When clocks and watches were not common,
+a sundial was of great service to the public. This old dial, with
+its well-worn steps, is situated in the churchyard at the back of
+the Church, close to the footpath leading to the Vicarage. The
+view from the churchyard across to Bembridge Down is very pleasing.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Pier, Sea View._]
+
+THE PIER, SEA VIEW.--This pretty little watering-place is rapidly
+rising into prominence as a fashionable resort. The Pier is an
+elegant structure suspended from piles, and affords an easy and
+rapid approach from Portsmouth and Southsea by steamboat, and during
+the summer there is a regular service of boats, as well as excursion
+traffic. There are also many coach and motor excursions from various
+parts of the island. Sea View is three miles from Ryde. Many pretty
+villas have recently been built to accommodate the increasing number
+of visitors.
+
+
+[Illustration: _View in Ventnor Park._]
+
+VIEW IN VENTNOR PARK.--The acquisition by the town of the site
+of the Park was a wise and good thing. The differences of level
+afford many advantages: those who like the sea breezes can walk
+on the upper promenade green where enchanting views of sea and
+land meet the eye at every point. Quiet nooks like that of the
+picture can be found in the lower and more sheltered grounds. The
+visitor can choose shade or sunshine at command. Alongside of careful
+culture of flowers and shrubs, wild nature also asserts itself,
+not having been ruthlessly suppressed.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Monk's Bay, Bonchurch._]
+
+MONK'S BAY, BONCHURCH.--This quiet retreat is at the Ventnor end
+of the Landslip and within a short distance of Old Bonchurch. The
+two thatched cottages are almost grown in, and the bright red cliff
+which forms the prominent feature consists of the topmost beds
+of the lower Greensand. The lower beds behind the cottage are of
+geological interest from the diversity of colour in the beds. The
+sands are white and firm, and there are rocks and pools where children
+love to play. Close by is the path leading through the Landslip to
+Shanklin.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Downs, Ventnor._]
+
+THE DOWNS, VENTNOR.--The elevation of the Downs above Ventnor affords
+an opportunity of enjoying most romantic and charming scenery, and
+of being refreshed with health-giving breezes. There are paths
+leading to Wroxall, also to Shanklin, unfolding a succession of
+views it would be difficult to rival. When the golden gorse and
+purple heather are in bloom it presents a glorious prospect to
+the vision. The footpath leading to the Downs is by the railway
+station, or access may be had from near the Cemetery. The prospect
+from the slopes of the Down toward the town and sea is very extensive
+and impressive.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Cascade, Ventnor._]
+
+THE CASCADE, VENTNOR.--It was a happy thought when the town acquired
+the triangle which includes the Cascade, the water of which once went
+to supply Ventnor Mill. By the planting of creeping plants, of monkey
+musk and a number of other beautiful flowers, this neglected corner
+has been turned into a garden of loveliness. It is like a little
+corner of Switzerland, and all within sight of a busy thoroughfare.
+The band plays on the green below to the sound of falling water.
+In the heat of summer the very sound of it is refreshing.
+
+
+[Illustration: _Shanklin Esplanade from Rylstone._]
+
+SHANKLIN ESPLANADE, FROM RYLSTONE.--This favourite view, which shews
+nearly the whole of Shanklin Pier, also includes in the distance the
+Culver Cliff. Taken from the Garden of Rylstone, overlooking the foot
+of the Chine, it forms a most attractive scene. The cliff pathway
+on the green to the right, the winding road and broad esplanade,
+with the wide expanse of sands, furnish a characteristic view of
+the principal features of Shanklin front. The level sands form a
+safe and pleasant bathing-ground when covered by the sea. Boating
+too is popular, it being within easy reach of beautiful bays in
+the direction of Luccombe.
+
+
+[Illustration: _The Old Church, Bonchurch._]
+
+THE OLD CHURCH, BONCHURCH.--In addition to the beautiful situation
+and the essential loveliness of the subject, Old Bonchurch has many
+associations of attraction. It is no longer used for services,
+except an occasional funeral. In the churchyard John Sterling's
+grave and the grave of the Rev. J. Adams, author of the "Shadow
+of the Cross," interest a great many visitors, the latter having
+a raised horizontal cross, which casts a shadow on the stone when
+the sun shines. The old porch is an object of beauty, crowned with
+roses and honeysuckle, the red tiled roof relieved with thick masses
+of ivy, while over it the tall elm-trees stand, as though to shelter
+it from every stormy blast.

+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by

+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
