Needles: New Battery Needles: New Battery National Trust

Description


Located in the remotest part of the island the battery was therefore an ideal location from which to run Britain's secret Rocket Programme when the country was still in the race to become a space superpower (total achievement is one satellite into orbit in the early 1970's) Today the battery is an ideal location from which to view the stunning Needles chalk stacks and the equally impressive lighthouse located at the end of them.
