What is recorded here
Tennyson Down rises to approximately 113 metres and is composed mainly of chalk, typical of the southern end of the Isle of Wight. It is associated with local walks and scenic views, and its name may derive from the 19th-century poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, who had connections to the island.
