Needles Lighthouse needs protection

The Needles Lighthouse is feeling its age. The sea has been tearing at the rocks beneath the lighthouse for a century and a half, eroding its base. Now a plan is in place to try and save it.

It's one of the best-known landmarks in Britain - but the Needles Lighthouse is feeling its age. The sea has been tearing at the rocks beneath the lighthouse for a century and a half, eroding its base.

A Β£500,000 project is now under way to make it safe for the future so they can keep the light burning for those at sea who depend on it.
