   i walked all the way from Weston.A great walk with great views.When you get to the oil terminal and think the pathway ends,it doesn't. The route i took ended on the waterfront in Hamble village.There is coastal erosion but the pathway follows another route in places.Great place for families,kids and dogs,and single folk like me.The reed beds can be a bit soggy after winter but the diversity of the common is really special.Beach,marsh,woods and narrow paths and open grass land.The gun in my photo isn't the original bofors gun sited here in world war 2 but a replacement,and very real. Saturday 30th March 2024. I left a review five years ago. Today there is an update. The coast path from Hamble car park walking west is largely flooded. A lot of people use the beach as a pathway. The pathway is that flooded with water. I found a way through the scrub between the path and the beach because I had been walking for several hours and didn't want to turn around. I had walked from Burseldon and caught the ferry from Warsash to Hamble and carried on walking. You will need hiking boot's or wellies to walk from Hamble to the oil terminal along the coast path for a while. From the oil terminal west the going gets easier. Just when it was drying out. The Hamble circular walk will be challenging for a few weeks at least.

   Hamble common is a brilliant, beautiful place to visit with its nature walks and wildlife, as a amateur photographer its a great place to start learning the skill of wildlife photography, a good tip is wear Wellington boots .

   Do the Hamble-le-Rice and Royal Victoria Country Park Circular, not 100% follow up the trail so that some are muddy but still easy and nice walk, Nice place and have country side , sea and forest view. that is enjoyable

   Lovely space to watch the ships and boats, I've took some great photos here with camera and my drone. Ample parking and nice walks along pebble beach area. Sadly nowhere to get a drink or food and no toilets that I know of. There is a marina near by, but looks a bit posh so have not attempted to pop in.. Only negative is other people, the lazy dirty ones that feel it's OK just to dump there rubbish all over, but clearly it does it cleaned up by some one...

   Love place to walk, with a small rocky/shingle/sandy beach. Views of distant Isle of Wight and boat watching. You can walk to Hamble village from Hamble Point and also the nearby Hamble Conservation area - where you may see Highland cattle grazing the scrubland.

   A lovely quiet place near the river Hamble. Great for a place to just chillout. Can get quite muddy when it is raining so best to plan on a nice day. Also a great place for sea fishing along the shore.
