Osbourne House (Entrance Included)

Recently returned from conservation work, visitors can see the original dress uniform jacket worn by Master Gunner Robert Lakeman who worked at the Battery, or head through the underground tunnel, that takes you deep through the cliffs, for a unique bird's eye view of The Needles.

The tea-room is in an old look-out tower and serves hot and cold drinks, light lunches, sandwiches, cakes and traybakes with dramatic views of the Needles Rocks and Dorset in the distance.
