Attractions and Activities

There is plenty to do within the area of Universal Marina, with many attractions suiting the entire family. The riverbank walk, which passes through Universal Marina, joins the Solent Way at Warsash. To keep to the walk, you cross the river using the Warsash Ferry. Holly Hill Park is but a stone's throw from the path, and Manor Farm and Country Park is approximately 5 miles up the road towards Bursledon Brickworks.

For any further information for what's happening on and around the River Hamble please link to the River Hamble Harbour Authority.
