Chairlift

The Needles Park Chairlift continues to be a firm favourite with visitors and the best way to see the Isle of Wight’s most famous landmark.

Ride in one of the 50 chairs from the top of the cliff to Alum Bay Beach and back. The views are truly spectacular from the picturesque Needles Rocks and Lighthouse to the multi-coloured sand cliffs.

Also look out for the marvellous turquoise colour of the sea.
