Lymington, a bustling market town, is nestled idyllically between the northern New Forest and the southern Hampshire coast. Known for its marina and mooring on the Solent, this town is a hub of activity for yachts and commercial shipping. A car ferry service provides easy access to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.
The town presents a pleasant mix of Georgian and Victorian architecture, but its roots delve further back into the medieval period when it was a hub for salt production. Traces of the old saltern workings can still be seen near the coast.
Although not a typical seaside resort, nearby beaches at Milford on Sea and Barton on Sea offer coastal enjoyment. The Solent Way, a marked trail running from Lymington to Milford on Sea via Hurst Castle, spans around 60 miles of mainly flat terrain.
From lazy sunbathing to more strenuous activities like sailing, surfing, windsurfing, and kite sailing, the coastline offers a variety of pursuits to cater to all preferences.
A wealth of attractions, from piers and harbours to funfairs and roller coasters, are dispersed throughout the coastal area.
