Freshwater
Yarmouth is an attractive little town at the western tip of the Isle of Wight, just offshore of the South East of England. Everything in Yarmouth seems to be on a small scale; small narrow streets nestle against a small castle and harbour, and the ferry terminal is actually built against the castle walls.
