About Hythe 

As we travel up Southampton Water you’ll pass Calshot Spit, with a historic Tudor Castle and the original Flying Boat Hangers, many of which are now used by Calshot Activities Centre. 

Hythe is located on the southern side of Southampton Water and the New Forest. It has the oldest pier train that rumbles up and down the historic wooden pier to the Ferry over to Southampton.

The village of Hythe is a short walk from the modern Hythe Marina village along the board walk, where we will moor up. It is a historic seaside resort, with a fascinating history and great pubs and restaurants.
