The ancient fort of neders was built in 1862. There is a brief description in this ancient fort. Since 1864, British troops have been stationed in this ancient fort. It was an observation post during World War II. There is a 60 meter long tunnel under the fort, which leads to the searchlight observation platform under the cliff. It wasn't until 1945, when World War II ended, that all the soldiers were withdrawn. Their main task is to prevent the enemy from invading the Solent strait between Great Britain and the Isle of Wight and Plymouth shipyard. There are several watchtowers like blockhouses in this fort for tourists to visit. We can all know clearly how the soldiers at that time worked. It can be visited in summer, closed in winter, and overlooking the mainland of England when the weather is good.

More than once in spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the coffee shop of the lighthouse at the end, there lived an amiable grandma. One winter she gave me a free chocolate cake

The biggest highlight of the whole island. It's highly recommended to go out to sea by speedboat and circle niddles. It's very cool

The white cliff, derived from the geological evolution of thousands of years, is not the most spectacular to stand at the edge of the cliff and look at it, but the long ladder leading to the cliff. It is open around, and the sea wind blows from time to time, thus taking a very spectacular picture..

The scenery is good and the wind is strong. In fact, the Isle of Wight is very small. You can go to the island by boat for 10 minutes from Park Mau Southsea, and then you can get there by bus.

It's very beautiful. After getting off by bus, you can walk a long way to the cliff. It's wonderful to walk on the edge of the cliff. It will be backlight in the afternoon. I feel it very much. There's a fort to visit in summer and it's closed in winter
