The needles
the needles rocks & lighthouse
The Needles on the western tip of the Isle of Wight is one of the most photographed groups of rocks in the world – this row of three distinctive chalk stacks are a photographer’s delight. The best view of this iconic Isle of Wight landmark is from the Needles Old Battery. You can only admire the Needles lighthouse from a distance, as it is not safely accessible or open to the public. The lighthouse has a helipad at the top for emergency access. Originally, there were four rocks – you can see the gap very clearly like a missing tooth. The name the Needles comes from the fourth rock which was needle-shaped. This photo was taken by Alice at www.adriftvisuals.co.uk .
