Leave the A27 at the Havant / Hayling Island exit.

Head South on to the A3023 which takes you on to Hayling Island. Road access to Hayling Island is through a single road bridge that makes up a stretch of the A3023 proceed to a roundabout (aprox 3.25miles).  At the roundabout take the first exit left to Mengham/Eastoke.  Drive straight through Mengham village to the seafront (aprox 1mile).  At the T junction on the seafront turn left to Sandy/Eastoke end, then drive along the seafront ( approx 1mile).  The road curves to the left, take the first right on the bend into Southwood Road.  Drive along Southwood Drive until you come to a dead-end Sign.  Turn left here into Bosmere Rd.  At T turn junction turn right into Sand Point Rd then take left into Bracklesham Road.  You will find HISC entrance gate about 0.25 miles along Bracklesham Rd.
