More about this scene
Having accommodated men of the United States 1st Infantry Division before they left Weymouth and Portland to land on Omaha Beach in the D-Day invasion, Freshwater Holiday Camp remains one of the busiest places on the holiday coast. Post-war, caravans advanced on to the pea-gravel beach, and this photograph was used by the National Trust land agent John Cripwell when he presented the case for the purchase of Burton Cliff (top right) in 1967. Below it the River Bride trickles through the shingle into Lyme Bay.
