The Back of the Wight |
This is the index of a series of pages showing postcards of the Back of the Wight, the coastal area from Freshwater Bay to Ventnor. It was renown for shipwrecks and smuggling in the past. I am also including the inland villages.
A recent card showing the bays, Compton, Brighstone and Atherfield. The white cliff is Tennyson Downs with the Needles at the end. Taken from the viewpoint car park above Blackgang
