Isle of Wight Steam Railway - running around at Smallbrook Junction No. 41298 is just running round for the return to Havenstreet. We were transferring to the electric train for the trip to Ryde Pier Head Station.  No. 41298 is an Ivatt designed Class 2 2-6-2T built at Crewe in 1951 and was one of a class of 130 (120 being built by British Railways). It was withdrawn in 1967 and after a peripatetic existence came to the Isle of Wight in 2008 and was returned to steam in 2015. This is a large engine by Isle of Wight standards.

Barnsley Copse is a picturesque woodland area located in Hampshire, England. Spanning approximately 100 acres, it is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and families seeking a tranquil retreat.

The copse is characterized by its dense and diverse vegetation, comprising a mix of broadleaf trees such as oak, beech, and birch. These towering trees provide a lush canopy, creating a shaded and cool environment even during the summer months. The forest floor is carpeted with a variety of wildflowers, ferns, and mosses, adding to the copse's natural beauty.

Home to a rich array of wildlife, Barnsley Copse offers a unique opportunity for visitors to observe and appreciate nature up close. Numerous bird species can be spotted here, including woodpeckers, owls, and various songbirds. Squirrels and rabbits are also common sights, scurrying through the undergrowth.

Several well-maintained footpaths and trails traverse the copse, allowing visitors to explore its many wonders. These paths lead to hidden clearings, serene ponds, and babbling brooks, enhancing the overall charm and tranquility of the area. Additionally, there are designated picnic areas and benches scattered throughout the copse, providing opportunities for visitors to relax and soak in the natural surroundings.

Barnsley Copse is easily accessible, with a nearby car park and public transportation options available. The copse is open year-round, offering different seasonal experiences, from the vibrant colors of autumn to the delicate blooms of spring. Whether for a leisurely stroll, a family outing, or a nature photography expedition, Barnsley Copse is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking solace and connection with the natural world.

This is the only remaining line on the island, apart from the preserved Isle of Wight steam railway.  It is now mostly single track as can be seen here heading north-west across the square.

Holiday house at Hill Farm This looks as though it could be a holiday home with a nice view; it looks too small to be the main farm building.  There is still the remnants of the rape crop here.
