Dimbola Museum and Galleries

A short distance from Freshwater Bay House is Dimbola, former home of pioneering Victorian photographer Julia Margaret Cameron. All the walls in the rooms and nooks and crannies around the house are filled with her photographs.
There is also a cafe there. It had a sort of musty smell which you would expect in a museum.
Jimi Hendrix who was at the first Isle of Wight pop festival, where he gave one of his last performances before his death in 1970.
Beyond Dimbola further along the road is St Agnes Church which has a thatched roof.
Further along the road there is a small village shop Orchard Brothers.

About This SiteHere is some information I have gathered together about getting to and walking from HF houses when leaving the car at home. On these pages I have also put some history about former HF houses I have visited. The information here is based on my visits to HF houses over the years. It may be out of date so don't rely on anything here without checking. If you find any errors why not let others know by putting a post on the HF Holiday Fans ( unofficial) Facebook forum. I will try to quote such posts here so they don't get lost. This is information I have discovered over the years which would have been useful to know before. Unfortunately the travel information on the HF website, for getting to houses by public transport, is poor. I think it would be better if the information on this page were on the HF website. |
