Hayling Island

Hayling Island is a teeny island thats tied with the Mainland merely by a Bridge in the county of Hampshire.

This lovely island is home to 16,900 people who savour the miles of coast lines butting against the Solent. The traditional sea side spirit is a faultless 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 visit to the Life Boat Station and Museum situated along Sandy Point explains the bravery and story, whilst the panoramas across to the entrance of Chichester harbour can be enjoyed and perhaps captured..

Or if you fancy a round or 2 why not Tee off at Hayling Golf Club, founded in 1865, the 18 holes will test any golfer, set in a dramatic location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of White, complete with Club House and naturally the 19th Hole.

Or perhaps the engrossing treasures on display at the Royal Marines Museum will not fail to impress, with their displays of Landing Craft, Uniforms, Silver and Manuscripts dating back centuries. Or be transmitted back in time with a call in to Southsea Castle built on the say so of Henry the 8th, now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
