Description
Just after its opening in 1860 the Poor Clares Woodchester Convent took in orphans. The children were housed in a separate part of the convent. Sadly several died at the Convent and were buried in the small graveyard near the Nuns graves. Their memory is still kept on a simple memorial in the former graveyard.

Description
This location is along the Atlantic Drive, near the southern tip of the Island. From here there is a great view looking northwest along the cliffs towards Dooagh Village. There was a very large swell producing 25ft waves, which looked fantastic as they rolled into the small Bay. I managed to get out in between the showers for some quick handheld shots and was very pleased with the pattern the waves formed, while the houses situated up on the hill above the bay giving the shot a good sense of scale.
