King Charles III England Coast Path: South Hayling to East Head: Avoidance of Itchenor Ferry
Diverts inland when the seasonal Itchenor Ferry isn't running, adding 3–4 miles through West Itchenor village and quiet lanes before rejoining the main Coast Path. Terrain is flat and easy on pavement and field edges, perfectly manageable for families and buggies on firmer sections, though some paths can be muddy after rain. Dogs welcome throughout. Worth knowing as your backup route—less scenic than the ferry crossing but ensures you can complete this stretch of the England Coast Path year-roun
