The home of the Hythe Ferry and the World's Oldest Pier Train. Ferry goes to and from Southampton Town Quay. You get some nice view of the harbor, and a ride on the pier train is included in the price. Bikes are welcome on the boat but you can't ride the train.

No bikes on the little train that takes you down the ‘pick-a-plank pier but a wonderful pedestrians only train to admire.

Apparently the worlds oldest continuously running pier train
