More information on Hythe Ferry

The Hythe Ferry service runs between Southampton and Hythe, a picturesque waterside village that is packed with interesting shops and attractions. The crossing alone makes a day trip to the village worthwhile, as you can see ocean liners like the QE2 and the Oriana on the way and get to ride the world's oldest pier train. The journey was said to have been one of Jane Austen's favourite trips when she lived in Southampton. A ferry has been in operation between Hythe and Southampton since medieval times, when monks from Beaulieu brought fleeces across to store in the Woolhouse, which is now the Maritime Museum. The ferry leaves every half hour, every day except Christmas Day, from Town Quay. If you feel like drink or a snack before you leave, a Monsieur Hulot cafe is conveniently situated opposite the terminal.
