The Needles | Chair Lift | Alum Bay | Boat Trip | Isle of Wight | England | UK

The Needles is the most iconic natural landmark on the Isle of Wight, featuring three distinctive white chalk stacks rising 30 metres out of the sea. Situated at the westernmost tip of the island near Alum Bay, this geological wonder is crowned by the red-and-white Needles Lighthouse, which was built in 1859 and automated in 1994. The name "The Needles" comes from a fourth, needle-shaped rock called "Lot's Wife" that collapsed during a severe storm in 1764. #needles #chairlift #boating #isleofwight #island #uk
