SeaAshlett Hard
Hampshire, EnglandAshlett Hard is a free public slipway at the head of Ashlett Creek, a tidal inlet of Southampton Water in the hamlet of Ashlett near Fawley. The creek dries out over soft mud at low water, so it is only usable for around the top half of the tidal cycle, and the old tide mill beside the slip served as a sailing club clubhouse until 2019.
