A morning spent trying to solve a 1000 piece puzzle
before setting off for a drive around Bembridge. Completed in the early 1700s, in 1795 a young JMW Turner paid a visit and, of course, did a water colour of it.
"That's where we are going next Daddy."
The Earl of Yarborough's obelisk.
Back in 1665, Bembridge was almost an island on its own. A stunning view east along England's south coast.
Getting there.
Built in 1849,
the family court of arms includes their pets.
Around the corner, The Beacon, used to warn of the approaching Spanish Armada in 1588,
used in 2025 for an opportune selfie.
