Ashlett Creek

Ashlett Creek, although small in size, is a beautiful harbour situated on the periphery of Cadland and Fawley village. It serves as an ideal vantage point for observing the passage of cruise ships and sailing vessels. Furthermore, there is the option to rent kayaks and paddleboards through The New Forest Paddle Sports Company.

Ashlett Creek is also home to The Jolly Sailor, a pub with a history dating back 160 years, nestled along the banks of Southampton Water. This delightful old inn, once frequented by smugglers, extends a warm welcome to dog owners and features a cozy open fire. The area around Ashlett Creek offers an abundance of walking opportunities, including a picturesque 45-minute coastal stroll leading to Calshot Beach. Along this path, savor panoramic views of the Isle of Wight, Southampton Water, and the distant sights of the Spinnaker Tower and Portsmouth.
