Brockhampton Mill Lake is a picturesque body of water located in Hampshire, England. Nestled amidst a serene and verdant landscape, this lake offers a tranquil retreat for visitors seeking to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Situated on the outskirts of the village of Brockhampton, the lake is primarily fed by a small creek that meanders through the surrounding countryside. The creek eventually opens up into an estuary, which then flows into the sea. This unique geographical feature provides a diverse ecosystem, attracting a wide variety of flora and fauna.

The lake itself spans approximately 20 acres, offering ample space for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and birdwatching. Anglers are drawn to the lake's abundant fish population, which includes species such as carp, pike, and perch. Bird enthusiasts can also spot various waterfowl, including swans, ducks, and herons, as well as the occasional visiting migratory bird.

The tranquil ambiance of Brockhampton Mill Lake makes it an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful day out in nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, visitors can enjoy scenic walks along the lake's shores or simply relax on one of the many benches dotted around the area.

Accessible by foot or by a short drive from nearby villages, Brockhampton Mill Lake is a hidden gem in Hampshire. Its natural beauty and diverse wildlife make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Car park, Havant Station

I stood about here in 1963 and watched a 'Terrier' tank being hand-coaled, ready for its next run to Hayling Island - SU7106 : The glamour of steam?. 1963 was the year that the line closed, so the old yard has, inevitably, become a boring car park. Now, the only visible links between the two shots are the chimneys on the houses beyond.

Now the Shipwrights Way, but was previously the Hayling Island railway branch line.

The Shipwrights Way joins the A3023 road

The A3023 road crosses into Hayling Island via the Langstone Bridge. This is now the only land link onto the Island and is also used by the Shipwrights Way, which is joined by the Hayling Billy Coastal Path on the island. A 2nd bridge onto the island was the Hayling rail branch line, but that closed in 1963.

Mud flats at Bridge Lake

The remains of the Langston Harbour rail bridge are visible across the centre of the view. The poor state of the bridge led to the closure of the Hayling branch line in 1963 (but I'm sure, if not for the bridge, another reason to close the line would have been found!). Although much of the bridge infrastructure remains, it cannot be used to cross to the island. There have been recent calls to rebuild it, at a minimum as a walkway, but that seems unlikely in the near future, given the financial constraints which currently prevail. The road bridge to the island is visible on the left.
