Lymington is a charming little seaside port which has lots to offer the holidaymaker in New Forest. It’s location right on the coast gives it an obvious appeal, with charming little towns like New Milton and Milford on Sea close by. In fact, some of the best beaches in England are found between Lymington and Poole, so if you’re a beach lover this coastal stretch will be a find. 

Lymington itself is English charm personified – the pleasant town is dotted with lovely Georgian houses. It’s worth visiting the Museum & Visitors Centre in New Street to bone up on some of the local history of the region.

At Fisherman's Quay, situated along Lymington River, a line of yatch's are banked and it’s a nice place to come for a little fresh air and relaxation.

Further south from Keyhaven is the interesting Hurst Castle – from where you can catch some stunning views of Isle of Wight. Slightly west of Keyhaven is the beach town of Milford on Sea, and further west still is Barton on Sea.
