Hilsea Lines Audio Trail

One of the city’s most varied and historic wildlife havens, Hilsea Lines contains woodland, hedgerows, meadows, both fresh and brackish water areas, marshland and coastal habitats all within 80 hectares. 

The history of Hilsea Lines very much reflects the development of Portsmouth as a military base. When complete Hilsea Lines extended for 2.5km along the whole northern side of Portsea Island and largely remain today.
This trail was created in collaboration with Portsmouth Creates.
The Hilsea Lines audio trail begins at the Blue Lagoon, London Rd, Hilsea, Portsmouth PO2 9RP (What Three Words: Factor.Drama.Loves) and leads to the Old Airport, PO3 5PF (What Three Words: Keen.Nodded.Trial).
The trail will be approximately an hour’s walk, taking in 35 stops.
To follow the trail simply download the free Echoes XYZ app to your smartphone and listen to the audio while you follow the inbuilt route map. The trails can either be downloaded for free or streamed. Please bear in mind streaming content will use data and you may be charged.
