Weitere Informationen:
The privately owned Priory Bay hotel has an architectural legacy of more than 700 years. It is on the Isle of Wight east coast near to Nettlestone, Seaview and Bembridge and has lands stretching to the shoreline between Horestone Point and Nodes Point. Just off the main path leading to the beach there is a Folly, probably built around 1799 but in the revived architectural style of the 13th or 14th Century. It was fashionable in the 18th Century for owners of estates to build follies and grottoes, sometimes even installing a Hermit to live within. The estate extends down to the mean low tide mark on the beach. The tides and storms affect its state, in some years it becomes almost completely sandy while in others it is studded with rocks and pebbles up to its low water mark
