If you want to see the sights of Hayling Island, there are many ways to do that. You can either walk or cycle.
Enjoy a variety of walks with the Hayling Island group taking in the lovely 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 acquaintances 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 Way is produced from wedged scalpings, with a top-dressing, there is a spot of tarmac and a spot of concrete and it might be a little lumpy in places. Nearly all road bikes will cope but mountain bikes are better suited ” I bicycled the route on a mountain bike with slick road tyres and I was O.k.. There are places where a little of would prefer to walk but these places are few and far between and very short ” bearing in mind I pedalled 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.
