Hayling Island

Hayling Island is a small Island that is united with the mainland merely by a bridge on the Solent coast.

This splendid island is called home by a mere 16,900 people who enjoy the miles of shore lines edging the Solent. The traditional Seaside feel is a perfect back drop for sailing, Swimming, Kite Surfing and Wind Surfing.

Boasting 2 churches St Peters built in 1140 and St Marys which dates back to the 13th Century. A trip to the Life Boat Station and Museum situated on Sandy Point explains the bravery and story, whilst the scenes across to the entrance of Chichester harbour may be enjoyed and perhaps captured..

Or if you fancy a round or 2 why not tee off at the Haying Island Golf Club, founded in 1865, the 18 holes will examine any golfer, set in a brilliant location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of Wight, complete with Club House and of course the 19th Hole.

Or possibly the engrossing treasures on display at the Royal Marines Museum won’t fail to impress, with their displays of Landing Craft, Uniforms, Silver and Manuscripts dating back centuries. Or be transferred back in time with a visit to Southsea Castle built on the say so of Henry V111, now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
