Havant

Havant combines a historic market-town character with a coastal setting in a way that reflects its position between the South Downs and Hampshire’s tidal harbours. The River Ems rises in the town and runs south to Emsworth, where its channel meets Chichester Harbour. Havant developed around plentiful springs and water-powered industry, and parchment making became a notable local trade. St Faith’s Church, whose fabric includes medieval work, anchors the old centre. To the south-west, Langstone Harbour separates the mainland from Hayling Island. Havant railway station is a junction on routes towards Portsmouth, London and the Sussex coast. See how Havant connects with the South Hampshire coast by browsing webcams nearby.
