Hayling Island Emsworth with Havant, Langstone & Waterlooville Visitor Guide 2010 www.visithavant.co.uk Useful information Welcome Getting there Welcome to our region Situated on the south coast, approximately halfway between Portsmouth and Chichester, our interesting and unique area is an easy place to gain access to with excellent road and rail links. You’ll find Havant and Emsworth just off the A27 near to the junction with the A3(M), about 70 miles from London. For Hayling Island and Langstone, exit the A27 and take the A3023 over the bridge. Here you’ll find a great place to get away from it, whilst still being right in the middle of it all. A friendly welcome awaits you here on the south coast in Hampshire. With over 3 miles of beaches right on the doorstep, as well as the safe open spaces and sheltered bays of Langstone and Chichester harbours, our region can offer the ideal relaxing break. A vital starting point for any visit is to call in on our friendly Visitor Information Centre, where you can get all the latest information and leaflets. The centre, based at Beachlands, can help with booking accommodation, whether you are after hotels, holiday villages, self-catering or camping and caravanning sites. Also on sale are a wide range of maps and guides, gifts and souvenirs, postcards and the Hayling Island DVD postcard. Well trained and very knowledgeable, the centre’s staff will be pleased to give advice on your specialist interests and requirements.

The area has a fascinating history. The Celts thought Hayling Hayling Island is all about the sea, recreation, wildlife and relaxation; it was on Hayling Island that the sport of windsurfing was born.

Its atmosphere takes you back to carefree childhood days of summers in the sun and days you thought would never end. This bell-shaped island measures just 10 square miles, is completely flat and has a shoreline washed by shallow, clear waters. The land might not roll but the sea does and it was here, in 1958, that a 13 yearold local school boy called Peter Chilvers took to the waves with a piece of ply-wood, a tent flap and a curtain pole. The wind caught his sail and windsurfing was born. “It’s amazing” says Peter “that after all these years the birthplace of windsurfing has become a mecca for the sport. Conditions on Hayling Island lend themselves to great windsurfing. I loved the island as a kid and I am still in love with it now. Driving over the bridge at night when the water is high is magical.” Winter or summer, there’s always something going on and lots to enjoy on this small, fascinating island. Bring your family… Hayling Island is just right for families. There’s plenty of family friendly accommodation, including self-catering properties, holiday villages and caravan and camping sites. Colourful beach huts line the seafront, or Beachlands as we call it down here, which boasts two award-winning beaches. Children can paddle safely, play on the beach or let of steam in the Adventure Playground, while parents soak up the view over the Solent. Alternatively, jump on board the little train that runs along the front to Funland Amusement Park. 4 www.visithavant.co.uk Bring your sea legs… At the home of windsurfing, watersport enthusiasts of all abilities will discover the ideal conditions for catching a wave – visit in September when the island hosts the National Windsurfing Festival. Sailors are well catered for, too, with Hayling welcoming the Laser World Championships in 2010. Bring your energy… A network of public paths or tracks provide visitors with excellent walking and cycling opportunities through rural countryside. Horse-riding along the Hayling Billy Trail, which follows an old railway line hugging the West Hayling Local Nature Reserve, is rewarded with breathtaking views. Drop by the golf course for a round or two while admiring the scenery or let of steam whizzing around the skate park down at Beachlands.

Common Tern Bring your camera… and take home some special memories. DID YOU KNOW? ay Seaside Railw l During the war, this brave little island stood as a decoy for nearby Portsmouth, drawing bombers away from military and naval targets. One of the anti-aircraft gun sites on the Sinah Common has been restored and Mulberry Harbour Dock remains, still sitting off-shore in Langstone Harbour, near the Ferry Point. l The 10th-century name for Hayling Island was Heglingaigai, which translates to the Island of the Holy Grail – some say that it’s still hidden here somewhere. l In July 1988, a strange animal known as the Hayling Swamp Cat was run down by a car in West Lane. How it came to be there is a mystery to this day as the species is normally only found in the Middle East. Further reported sightings since suggest there may be at least one other still at large on Hayling Island.
