The Needles Park

As soon as you think about the Isle of Wight, the iconic image of the world famous Needles Park chairlift immediately springs to mind, transporting guests from the cliff-top above Alum Bay down to the beach below. So, grab a bird’s eye view of the multi-coloured sand cliffs of Alum Bay and the stunning turquoise waters that stretch as far as the eye can see.

We’re about more than fascinating history, stunning geology and fabulous ocean views here at The Needles Park, although our amazing location at the South Western tip of the Isle of Wight is truly breath-taking and thousands of people visit us each year to explore and discover this wonderful natural landscape, including the famous Needles Rocks & Trinity Lighthouse – the Isle of Wight’s most famous landmark.

The Needles Park is not just fun for students but educational too, with many of the attractions on site meeting certain key stage criteria.
