Freshwater
Freshwater is a large village and civil parish at the western end of the Isle of Wight, England. Freshwater Bay is a little cove on the south coast of the Island which additionally offers its name to the close-by part of Freshwater. Freshwater sits at the western end of the area called the Rear of the Wight or the West Wight which is a preferred traveler area. Freshwater is close to high chalk high cliffs. It was the birth place of physicist Robert Hooke and also was the house of Poet Laureate Alfred Lord Tennyson. Freshwater is popular for its geology and coastal rock formations that have resulted from centuries worth of seaside disintegration. The "Arch Rock" was a popular local landmark that fell down on 25 October 1992. The neighbouring "Stag Rock" is so called because apparently a stag jumped to the rock from the cliff to get away during a search. One more significant slab diminished the cliff face in 1968, and also is now referred to as the "Mermaid Rock". Quickly behind Mermaid Rock lies a little Sea cave that cuts several metres right into the new high cliff.
