The Magnetic Hayling Island Hayling Island’s Charm
Hayling Island
Hayling Island is a quiet Island thats joined to the Mainland merely by a Bridge in the county of Hampshire.
This splendid island is home to only 16,900 individuals who savour the miles of coastline bordering 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 along Sandy Point explains the courage and history, whilst the views across to the entrance of Chichester harbour can be savoured and maybe captured..
Or if you fancy a round or two why not tee up at the Haying Island Golf Club, established in 1865, the 18 holes will examine any golfer, set in a awesome location looking out across the Solent towards the Isle Of Wight, complete with Club House and naturally the 19th Hole.
Or perhaps the absorbing 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 transmitted back in time with a visit to Southsea Castle built on the orders of Henry 8th, and now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
