14. The Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary
The Hayling Island Donkey Sanctuary is free to visit - though any donations are always appreciated. Choose your preferred visiting time from 10.30am, 12.30pm and 2.30pm. You will be given one and a half hours from your chosen time to enjoy the sanctuary and its residents. You can book your visit via our booking number 07720 204 685. There is also a cafe on site.

15. Portchester Castle
There are so many fabulous open spaces to enjoy but one of our favourites is Portchester Castle. The fantastic coastal stroll can be combined with spending time inside the outer walls of the castle. There are also refreshments available on site - as well as the potential to visit the main part of the castle itself. Photo: Alison Treacher
