| Church and yew tree worth seeing, even if the claims of the tree to be 2000 years old are dubious. | squeegs | 20/08/2021 |

| Parked outside the church and wandered into the churchyard enjoying the history and the 2000 year old tree. Spent a couple of hours wandering around Hayling and down to the sea front. Sea front much more interesting with a granite boulder on a mound commemorating the top secret COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties) Depot and the funfair. Chips and then back to the car. | Buck | 26/09/2020 |
| Huge yew dated as over 2000 years old- quite astounding. Predates church in whose yard it grows. | Denise | 04/01/2020 |

| Churchyard, yew tree | Adrian | 05/09/2015 |
| Walked all of summit area whilst looking to place a cache for my hill bagging series. Church yard seems to be high point, or field behind. | fnem | 14/07/2015 |

| An island summit but as Mr Spock (who died this week) would have probably said 'its a summit Jim but not as we know them' On a main road by shops or churchyard etc - all very flat. Sea front much more interesting with a granite boulder on a mound commemorating the top secret COPP (Combined Operations Pilotage Parties) Depot which was set up in 1943 on Hayling Island under the instruction of Lord Mountbatten. Small teams of sailors and soldiers trained as frogmen and canoeists for covert beach reconnaissance and other essential clandestine operations prior to the Allied landings on enemy occupied territory throughout the world. | Chris Pearson | 01/03/2015 |
