Hayling Billy Line

Hayling Billy Line
This path runs along what was the railway track between Havant (where I live) and Hayling Island (where I started the walk). The steam train that ran along the line was called the Hayling Billy.......hence the title.

The weather was dry (although it had been raining most of the night) when I set out, but it soon became quite cloudy and overcast.........nevertheless it stayed dry (much to my surprise) and didn't rain until later in the day.

A delightful track with a delightful name Keith. Love the autumnal dropped leaves here with the ivy clad trunks too. Well done.

Cheers and thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thank you very much Herb..........it's been a long time since I've been at the Hayling end of the track and the fields that used to be full of horses are now full of houses. Luckily that part of the walk is disguised by the trees.

It was just nice to get out in the fresh air for a while..!! Glad you like this one!

A very nice looking walk with some lovely trees and the first sign of autumn leaves on the ground,
Some fascinating trunk and branch shapes with perfect light at the end of the tree tunnel,

A wonderful capture! how far is the walk?

Thank you so much Roger............glad you like the look of this one. It's been a while since I walked any of it and as I've just mentioned to Herb, the fields that used to be full of horses are now full of houses.

Luckily you can't really see the houses for the trees which makes it very pleasant to walk there.

Thanks for your visit and comments.

The whole trail is around a 6 mile round trip - all off road. It's what they call a "multi-use" trail, which will accommodate walkers, cyclists, horses etc, but is also suitable for those in wheelchairs etc.

Beautiful tree-tunnel. There are several of these "rails-to-trails" paths here in the USA. They've been re-done as bicycle trails. Alas, I've never been on any of them.

Glad you like this one Ronald..........thank you. This is one of many ex-railway lines turned into pathways. Back in the 60s a lot of train lines were closed by the Government of the day as being unproductive and over the years many have been converted. They're usually good walking as most are on the flat and some old stations have been turned into cafés.

Dort zu wandern muss herrlich sein. Die knorrigen Bäume bilden eine schöne Kulisse.
