About

The Needles Old Battery is an atmospheric Victorian fort and is an exciting place to be at any time – it’s perched high on the cliffs with views of the famous Needles rocks and the Solent below. This summer you can recreate games once played by the Victorian gunners stationed here. Send skittles flying and test your coordination skills with traditional quoits. It’s harder than it looks!
