The Borough Council is supporting the
development of a comprehensive network of rights of way and
dedicated cycle facilities. The Borough is ideally suited to the
development of walking and cycling infrastructure with a level
coastal plain, modern roads, beautiful countryside and good
interchange with railways. Important parts of the National
Cycle Network - the South Coast Route NCN2, and the London Coastal
Route NCN22 - meet in Havant. And of course, 10,000 steps
a day means that for most people, you'll need to take no other
exercise in order to keep fit!

Hampshire County Council has been working with residents and landowners to find out what people think about local rights of way and other access to the countryside and what should be done to improve them. The result is The Hampshire Countryside Access Plan, which consists of 7 local area plans and a countywide ‘Overview’ document. Each local plan identifies the main issues in a particular part of Hampshire and suggests what should be done to improve access to the countryside in that area. Havant falls with the 'Solent' and 'Forest of Bere' areas.
