Hayling Island Hayling Island’s Magical Spell
Hayling Island
Hayling Island is a small island that is linked to the Mainland merely by a bridge on the Solent coast.
This stunning island is called home by a mere 16,900 people who savour the miles of coastal lines bordering against the Solent. The traditional sea side feel is a consummate backdrop 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 along Sandy Point explains the courage and history, whilst the sights across to the entrance of Chichester harbour may be savoured and maybe captured..
Or if you fancy a round or two why not Tee up at the Hayling Golf Club, established in 1865, the 18 holes will trial 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 absorbing 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 VIII, and now home to a fascinating Museum and to the fabulous Over Lord Tapestry which commemorates D Day
