Things to do in Hythe

Visit the World's Oldest Pier Train (officially recognised as a Guinness World record). Construction of the Hythe Pier was started in October 1879. It was opened with considerable ceremony on 1st January 1881. At 2,100 feet (640 metres), this nineteenth century iron pier is one of the ten longest piers in the British Isles. In 1909 tracks were laid for use by hand-propelled trolleys to carry goods and luggage. In 1922 a narrow gauge electric railway opened to take passengers the full length of the Pier.

This railway with its original engine and rolling stock is still operational today and an important part of the local transport system to Southampton.

A trip on the Hythe Ferry is probably one of the best views of the Queen Mary 2 & Queen Elizabeth 2 when in their Southampton home berth, as the Hythe Ferry sails right past the berth.

Frost Lane Farm, not a farm at all, but known as such by the locals - Barry's Sanctuary is field containing donkeys, geese, pot-bellied pigs and chickens.
