The Captivating Hayling Island Hayling Island’s Magic Spell
Hayling Island
Hayling Island is a small Island that is tied with the Mainland merely by a bridge on the Southern tip of Hampshire.
This idyllic island is home to only 16,900 souls who savor the miles of coastal lines butting against the Solent. The traditional sea side feel is a flawless backdrop 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 on Sandy Point explains the bravery and story, whilst the vistas 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 Hayling Golf Club, established in 1865, the 18 holes will trial any golfer, set in a scenic location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of White, complete with Club House and inevitably the 19th Hole.
Or maybe the engrossing treasures on exhibit 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 orders of Henry V111, now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
