Hayling Island Hayling Island’s Appeal
Hayling Island
Hayling Island is a tiny Island thats joined with the mainland merely by a bridge in the county of Hampshire.
This gorgeous Island is home to 16,900 people who enjoy the miles of coastal lines lining against the Solent. The traditional sea side smell is a perfect back drop for Sailing, Swimming, Kite Surfing and wind surfing.
Boasting two 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 history, whilst the sights across to the entrance of Chichester harbour could be savored and perhaps captured..
Or if you fancy a round or 2 why not tee up at the Hayling Golf Club, established in 1865, the 18 holes will test any golfer, set in a gorgeous location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of Wight, complete with Club House and naturally the 19th Hole.
Or perhaps the engrossing treasures on presentation 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 carried back in time with a visit to Southsea Castle built on the command of Henry V111, and now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
