Hayling Island - Places to Visit
The Hayling Billy Trail is not just for a great stroll along a wonderful coastline. Serious hikers will find the 5 mile trail fun too knowing they can burn around 500 calories taking the walk.
The Trail is also a cycleway and riders and their horses are welcome too.
The scenery along the trail is second to none and the wildlife will really surprise you.
There’s something here for everyone and especially also for those of you who love history.
The Hayling Billy railway let its last puff of steam out back in 1963 and for a long time since the track that had helped serve the community of Hayling so well for over a hundred years lay in ruin. The rails were torn up and the sleepers moved elsewhere. Around 1984 a team of volunteers worked hard to create a cycle way. Recently, with the help and support of Havant Borough Council and other partners the Heritage Partnership has been formed to continue the goal of making the Hayling Billy Trail as good an experience for as many people as is possible.
