The Needles Park is the Isle of Wight's premier visitor attraction
and is situated at Alum Bay overlooking the Island's most
famous landmark, The Needles Rocks and Lighthouse. Every year,
nearly half a million people visit to view these jagged chalk
stacks and lighthouse, the unique multi coloured sand cliffs
and enjoy the Park's facilities, including the spectacular
chairlift.
The Needles and Alum Bay first became popular with tourists
over 200 years ago, and in Victorian times the area attracted
large numbers of visitors who travelled from the mainland
by paddle steamer.
