A quick history

The history of Hayling Island dates right back to the Iron Age, with the discovery of an ancient shrine which later became a Roman temple, a site which was excavated in the 20th century. The island’s industry has been linked to salt production since the 11th century, continuing for hundreds of years until its decline in the late 1800s. The yew tree in St Mary’s churchyard is said to be thousands of years old. In 1944, the island was used for mock-invasions in preparation for D-Day.

Business and industry

Businesses on Hayling Island encompass tourism and leisure, sports, financial services and retail, while major local employers include Rolls Royce and West Sussex County Council in Chichester, and the University of Portsmouth, IBM and Pall Europe in Portsmouth.

Things to do in the area

If you love exploring the coast, there’s lots to keep you busy in Hayling Island from walks along the promenade to sunny days spent at West Beachlands. The Hayling Billy Trail is a great route to explore with children, while the kids will also love visits to the Funland amusement park and Hayling Seaside Railway.

Hayling Island is also a haven for watersports, including windsurfing, sailing and kitesurfing. Hayling Golf Club is also located on the island, and there are lots of cycle routes too.

Just a short drive away on the mainland, you’ll find Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Staunton Country Park and the city sights of Portsmouth, including the Historic Dockyard, Spinnaker Tower and Gunwharf Quays.
