Isle of Wight – The Polar Bear Tea Towel

€œPolar bears? On the Isle of Wight? Yeah right!€? you must be thinking. Of course, there aren’€™t any actual polar bears on the island, but if you stand on the beaches of Southbourne and look east across the waves, you’ll know exactly what everyone’s talking about!

When the sun hits the white cliffs on the western end of the island, the polar bear’s shape is unmistakeable, its head pointing easterly, the curve of its back outlined by the clifftop. But this isn’t the only famous landmark to be seen in the area. Just west of the Polar Bear are the Needles, a row of three chalk stacks jutting thirty metres above the waves. There’s also the iconic Needles Lighthouse, built in 1859 and painted with thick red stripes to distinguish it from the white chalk stacks.

It’€™s safe to say that this design features some pretty iconic Isle of Wight landmarks. So whether you’€™re an islander or a frequent holiday-visitor, this tea towel is the perfect thing to brighten up your kitchen!
