You have to love the wonderful smells and sights of Hayling Island and here are some manners in which you could enjoy them too. Put on your cycling shoes or your walking boots.
Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the picturesque 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 promenade to enjoy the Hayling coastline whilst socialising with acquaintances.
Share a morning amble with allies taking in the stimulating 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 Route is formed from packed scalpings, with a top-dressing, there’s some tarmac and some concrete and it could be a spot lumpy in places. Most road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I cycled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was Satisfactory. There are points where a spot of would opt to walk but these sites are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I biked the route the day following torrential downpours which pulled leaves off trees etc. a few puddles about but on the whole it was pretty well drained.
