Suss out the Enigmas of Hayling Island
If you want to see the views of Hayling Island, there are many ways to do that. Put on your cycling shoes or your walking boots.
Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the pleasurable sea views.
This group offers a short walk with a gentle pace for beginner or slower walkers to enjoy.
The longer walk enables those who enjoy a slightly faster paced stroll to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with allies.
Share a morning amble with allies taking in the clear sea air and ever changing environment, returning for refreshments.
This is mainly a flat route. There are two short hills at the Rowlands Castle end of the route. The majority of the route is on cycle path, but 3 short sections are on road:
1. from The Recreation Ground, The Fairway, Rowlands Castle to the bottom of the hill in Durrants Road
2. the section of road between Langstone Road and Langstone Bridge on to Hayling Island. The pavements on both sides of Langstone Bridge (only) are cycle paths.
3. the southern loop of Staunton Ave, Sea Front and Sinah Lane.
The Hayling Billy Coastal Path is produced from consolidated scalpings, with a top dressing, there’s some tarmac and a spot of concrete and it may be a bit lumpy in places. Most road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I pedaled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was Fine. There are points where a bit of would prefer to walk but these spots are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I pedaled the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few pools about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.
