We were looking for a footpath to explore and this ex railway line looked a possible. We joined at the northern end, at the Old Hayling Halt station. In hindsight (see review) we’d have probably been better to search for the southern railhead. We had my wife’s GoGo Explorer car boot mobility scooter with us. This has small solid wheels and no suspension. Given the variable nature of the path (and the car park!) you really need one with proper pneumatic tyres and/or suspension. Great views over to Portsmouth, and plenty of ‘vitamin N’ (nature) and wildlife.
Disabled Access In and Around
Poor
Reasonable, though varied, surfaces along the trail, but lack of suspension made the ride uncomfortable for my wife.
Parking & Transport
Bad
We drove. The Hayling Halt car park is loose large gravel that the car boot scooter couldn’t cope with. We had to park blocking a gate to unload the scooter directly onto the path.
