The Needles Old Battery will be featured on Channel 5 this Friday (April 1) when naturalist Kate Humble’s coast walks series is aired on TV screens at 8pm.

Kate Humble’s Coastal Britain programme this week sees the presenter embark upon a wintry walk around the western corner of the Isle of Wight, where she holidayed as a girl.

Starting on Yarmouth's wooden pier, her journey begins with a boat trip to the Needles, which her Victorian guidebook recommends as the best way to view these impressive chalk stacks.

Her walk continues with a visit to the Needles Old Battery and the Needles headland.

A spokesperson for the National Trust said:

“It was great to meet Kate Humble on her walk around the Needles Headland.

"We were able to show her the breath taking views of the Needles from the parade ground of the Old Battery and share the secrets of the New Battery and its rocket testing days.”

Episode five of Kate Humble’s Coastal Britain is broadcast on Friday and will subsequently be available on the My5 catch up service.
