About The Needles Park
These three distinctive chalk stacks are named not particularly for their own shape, but for the shape of the fourth Needle – Lot’s Wife – that collapsed in stormy weather in the 18th Century. You can take one of the popular boat trips from Alum Bay to see The Needles closer up, including the famous Needles Lighthouse. The area was featured in a 2005 documentary, “Seven Natural Wonders” and they are certainly viewed that way by all who come to see them. Take a chairlift to Alum Bay suspended high in the air, down to the Needle Park to see the beautiful coloured sands, watch craftsmen at work in the Glass Studio, browse the shops or ride on a real, old-fashioned carousel. So many atmospheric choices.
How to get to The Needles Park
