More about this scene
We are looking westwards to the snout of Goggin's Barrow (right), Black Head (centre), and Redcliff Point (left) above Weymouth Bay. There are signs of recent landslips along the clayey slopes that have since tended to scrub-up; this slippage caused lengths of the coastal path to be diverted inland from the unstable clifftops. It was also a desolate scene when John Constable spent his honeymoon here in 1816 with the Fisher family in the vicarage, and painted 'Osmington Shore, near Weymouth' which now hangs in the Louvre.
