Visit Waterlooville

You’ll discover some of your favourite big-name stores and a variety of local independent shops in Waterlooville, a market town just a short distance away from Hayling Island. Visit on a Friday to enjoy the busy weekly market, where you can shop fresh local produce alongside clothes and gifts.

Or if you’d prefer an urban detox, grab a picnic and visit nearby Queen Elizabeth Country Park, where stunning scenery comes as standard. Climb to the top of Butser Hill, the South Down’s highest point, for some awe-inspiring views or explore the meadows and woodlands below for wildlife encounters. The adventure play areas are guaranteed to be a hit with the kids too!

Keeping the little ones entertained is easy at nearby Staunton Park, with its farmyard petting zoo, nature walks and play areas, while Stansted Park has a miniature railway that meanders through beautifully tended grounds.
