When the tide is out, this quiet, dog friendly corner of Hayling Island provides a sandy beach and sand dunes. A great place for a family stroll by the sea.

Ideally placed at the entrance to the marina, the Boat House Café has seating looking out across the harbour. You can make your way there, whilst admiring the boats, along flat, paved paths.

An easy walk along the pretty canal side passing locks, bridges and plenty of wildlife. The perfectly located Onslow Arms was voted best pub for families in the British Pub Awards.

Start this walk with an exploration of the palace grounds and you will find there is still plenty remaining of this once grand residence. The walk then heads along a disused railway, across farmland and back to the town’s pond.

There is something magical in the woods of this National Trust Nature reserve, near Whitely. As you follow the creek that leads to the River Hamble, look out for the fairy tree and bring an offering to the little folk who reside there.

This has been one of our most popular walks to date, and it is easy to see why. Follow beautiful River Itchen past an alpaca farm and over bridges before returning through ancient woodland.
