The Needles Old Battery and New Battery

This spectacularly sited cliff top fort which is in the care of the National Trust has the best views of the Needles Rocks and a fascinating military history brought to life in cartoons by comic book artist Geoff Campion. Families can explore the site with an updated family discovery pack and become ‘Soldiers on Watch’ and new for 2009 is a soldier trail for young children.
The New Battery contains an exhibition about the part the site played in Britain’s race for space (opening times vary).

Newtown Old Town Hall - Isle of Wight

The small, now tranquil, village of Newtown once sent two members to Parliament and the Old Town Hall, which is now in the care of the National Trust, was the setting for often turbulent elections. This historic building contains an exhibition depicting the exploits of ‘Ferguson’s Gang’ – a mysterious group of anonymous benefactors as well as other local history. Regular art and photographic exhibitions are also held in there and footpaths lead to the adjacent estuary and nature reserve.

Mottistone Manor Garden - Isle of Wight

Mottistone Manor Garden, which is owned by the National Trust, is one of the most peaceful and magical gardens on the Island. Set in a sheltered valley with views to the sea, the gardens with their colourful borders, shrub-filled banks and grassy terraces surround an Elizabethan manor house (tenanted). There is a small, but thriving organic kitchen garden overseen by a resident scarecrow and a plant sales area. For children there is the ever popular flowerpot trail or they can become garden detectives and explore the garden with a revised family discovery pack.

Bembridge Windmill

This picturesque 300 year old windmill, which is in the care of the National Trust, is one of the best loved landmarks on the Island. Although no longer working, it has most of its original wooden machinery intact and visitors can explore the windmill’s four floors, touch the machinery and enjoy the views across the surrounding countryside. There is a small kiosk selling drinks and ice-cream and the windmill is also the start of the Culver Trail.
