View across Thorness Bay from the meadow. One of the views from Thorness Bay Holiday Park,

I love this photo of the meadow and bay at Thorness Bay Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight. This was taken in March this year, the daffodils were a welcome sight after winter and I love how the light has put such a glow on the headland opposite. It really is a beautiful park to stay on. 📸 🌊 🪾
