Principali attrazioni a Havant
💡 Look for the medieval graffiti on the pillars near the altar. Open during daylight hours — evening light shows the stained glass well.
💡 Allow 30–45 minutes. The volunteer staff love a chat and can point you to local walks. Check their opening hours — they close over lunch.
💡 Visit the Victorian glasshouses on the south side — often quieter than the main lawn. Bring bread for the ducks on the lake.
💡 Go early on a weekday to dodge the crowds — late June is peak colour. Take a small pair of scissors if you want to cut your own bunch.
💡 Start at the Langstone village end for better views of the harbour and less traffic. Bring binoculars in winter — you'll spot waders and wildfowl.
