The Needles

Easy to drive to from the hotel, this is probably the Isle of Wight’s most iconic natural feature. The original “needle” disappeared in the late 1800’s but what is left is spectacular and steeped in military history.

Did you know, this is where the first UK satellite rocket was developed and tested?

Whilst the black arrow may have kicked it all off, there are still fireworks every Thursday in the summer.
