While at Alum Bay I went up the Old Battery at the Needles which is an old fort and part of the coastal defences on the south coast.
It was a brutally windy day, and I was almost blown over despite being 6ft2 and the best part of 16 stone!
The views were good, and it's an interesting place. A bit expensive as it's a National Trust property, worth a visit though.
