Tournerbury Lane

Street guide, Hayling Island

Tournerbury Lane runs along the eastern side of the island, providing access to the harbour-facing properties and the quieter residential areas between Mill Rythe and Tye. The lane takes its name from Tournerbury, an area that has been associated with the island for centuries. The road is narrow and rural in character, with views across Chichester Harbour towards Thorney Island. Tournerbury Wood, a small area of woodland, provides a rare wooded habitat on an island that is predominantly open and flat. The lane connects to the network of small roads that serve the eastern side of the island, and it is popular with walkers exploring the harbour-side paths. The character is quiet and secluded, a world away from the busy seafront.
