ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF THE NEEDLES FROM ANYWHERE WITH THE NEW UPGRADED ALUM BAY WEBCAM

This state-of-the-art webcam provides an unparalleled virtual experience, allowing people from all over the globe to witness the natural beauty of The Needles in real-time. The Needles, with their distinctive chalk stacks rising dramatically from the sea, have long been a major attraction for visitors to the Isle of Wight. Back in May 2021, the first camera on the isleofwight.com network was launched, mounted to the top of The Needles Landmark Attraction’s chairlift.

Our main sponsors in 2024 were Red Funnel; Newport & Carisbrooke Community Council and Cherry Godfrey. We would also like to extend our thanks to The Bargeman’s

Last week marked a momentous occasion at Blackgang Chine as the much-anticipated Blackgang Beach welcomed its first visitors, providing a delightful sneak peek to the eager children of St. George's School in anticipation of the Grand Opening. The park opened its doors to 17 enthusiastic students and 7 dedicated teachers from the school for an exclusive accessibility session, showcasing the attraction in a calmer, more private setting.     Park Manager Dan White expressed his delight at witnessing the beaming smiles of the students, remarking, "It was truly heartwarming to see the joy on their faces, and we couldn't have asked for a
