Hayling Island Hayling Island’s Capture

Hayling Island

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

This pretty Island is called home by 16,900 individuals who enjoy the miles of shorelines edging against the Solent. The traditional Seaside smell is a faultless 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 trip to the Life Boat Station and Museum situated by Sandy Point explains the fearlessness and story, whilst the views across to the entrance of Chichester harbour could be savoured and perhaps captured..

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

Or perhaps the riveting treasures on exhibit 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 transferred back in time with a trip to Southsea Castle built on the say so of Henry 8th, and now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
