Reviews

1. Arthur Ratcliffe ★★★★☆

   Lovely place to visit on the Ilse of Wight. It was a very windy day on our visit to the Needles. We took a trip on the cable car that takes you down to the foreshore,what an experience it was as your lowered over the cliff edge. There is plenty of things to do to keep the kids occupied and the area is disabled friendly. There is a lovely coffee shop selling tea and coffee,soft drinks and cakes ect. A couple of gift shop also. Toilets on site are clean. Large car park. £6.00 per vehicle, £4.00 if a member of the National trust. Also there is a beautiful glass shop.

   This view is simply unforgettable and so relaxing! The vast blue sky, the sea, and the dramatic green cliffs make for pure natural beauty. The best part was the unexpected rainbow over the water—it was truly amazing! Highly recommend a visit here for the stunning views.

   The Needles Landmark Attraction is absolutely worth visiting – a true highlight of the Isle of Wight! The views are breathtaking, and the chairlift ride is an unforgettable experience, offering stunning sights of the cliffs, sea, and the famous Needles. It’s something everyone should try at least once. There are a couple of small areas that could be improved. The food section could offer a bit more variety and quality, and clearer signage for the beach path (especially placed above the queue area) would make things easier for visitors. That said, the chairlifts themselves were excellent – smooth, safe, and such a unique way to take in the scenery. Overall, a fantastic attraction that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the Isle of Wight. Don’t miss it!

   Everyone should see this point at least once if you are in England. It's a good place. Very good vibe. The beach is beautiful. The landmark is unique. Weekends are too crowded though. The boat ride is much recommended. They tell the history and geography of the place very nicely. You get good views.

   A beautiful spectacular place to be and visit Loads of things to do and a wonderful place to spend a full day Lots of games for kids. Nothing much for adults other than golf and chairlift to the beach. But the beach is the place to be. Amazingly clean, beautiful water, absolutely scenic There were 2 great boat rides to the lighthouse. We took the blue ride which is a bit slow compared to the other. Very nice ride and absolutely worth every penny. Great time to spend with family and friends

   We went during the week, we didn't really go for the attractions etc we walked across from a small NT car park. We used the chairlift down amd up to the beach which was a fun experience! Great views both ways. We also went on one of the boat trips out to the Needles. (This is a separate venture to the attraction) this wad brilliant. You get to go out to the edge of the bay and towards the Needles then along the cliff edge and then back towards the beach seeing the colored sands in the cliffs in the way. We did go in a couple of the shops and used the loos which were very clean.

   It's just amazing, at least everyone should visit it once. It's really worth your time. We went in chair lift and took the slow boat ride. We were a bit late so could not visit glass blowing. It was a wonderful experience. We came in bus which I think was a really good idea. For £10 we got a day rider ticket and we didn't have to pay anymore. We didn't have to wait for parking as well. There is frequent bus service which is a really good option

   Amazing views and easy to get to! We went in late February and so most of the attractions were closed, but that definitely didn’t stop us from walking to the Needles viewpoint. There are some truly amazing views along the walk, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes each way, depending on how many times you stop to take photos! You can see the multicoloured cliff faces, lovely coastline, as well as amazing views to the Lighthouse on the Needles itself. You can also see a look out post from the Coast Guard near the end of the walk, plus a bit of history from where the British government tested rocket engines as well. The best views are from the National trust old battery and new battery fort, and when we went we didn’t have to pay, although during high season you will. I would definitely recommend. From Newport it only takes about 35 minutes to drive to, and I believe there is a bus service as well!
