Warsash

Low water reveals a causeway which is a shortcut form the southern end of Holly Hill woodland out onto the river and into Warsash, and with the bright winter weather I stopped to take in the waterfront.

Above the Harbour Office was built in 1978 on piles driven into the river bed, it's not clear why they chose such an unusual design (well it was the 70's), but it's certainly been a distinctive feature of the village ever since

The Rising Sun, during the war an HQ for the allied landing force who departed the Hamble on their way to Normandy in 1941, these days a nice waterside pub.

Above and below, looking out toward the Solent and back towards the village waterfront

Warsash Sailing Club, or at least the main club house, which is a fine building looking out towards the Solent  and part of the dinghy park, they also have another building adjacent the harbour office.
