The Needles, Isle Of Wight - Framed Picture 16" x 16"
£39.99
The Needles is a row of three distinctive columns of chalk that rise out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, close to Alum Bay.
The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer, western end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.
The formation takes its name from a fourth needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife, that collapsed in a storm in 1764. The remaining rocks are not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.
