• Hythe Pier. At 2,100 feet (640 m), 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.

• St Johns Church. Consecrated in 1874, the church still provides an impressive backdrop as you enter the village from the south.
