Visitors love this beautiful, Georgian market town that’s also a popular sailing resort. Lymington boasts three marinas and was the training ground for local hero Sir Ben Ainslie, you can see the golden letter box at the bottom of the high street, painted in recognition of his success with a fifth Gold Medal in the 2012 Olympic Games. Lymington is one of the largest towns in the New Forest and has a key role in the life of the area. This charming town is packed full of history dating back to the Norman Conquest, and is an important port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent. Human habitation in the Lymington area dates back to the Iron Age, and a 6th Century BC hill fort known locally as Buckland Rings can still be seen today. As with many other towns and villages in the area, Lymington thrived during the Norman Conquest, thanks to its key location on the south coast. 

If you want to leave your car at home and come by train, Lymington Rail line is a branch off the main Waterloo to Weymouth line. Once here, you’ll find regular buses with stops all over the New Forest and coastline.

There are lots of places to walk and amble in and around Lymington, these include characterful cobbled streets leading down to the town quay and harbour – a great place to relax and watch harbour life - fishing boats land their haul, yachts and leisure boats coming in and out.

There are lots of town events, activities and day trips from Lymington including fishing trips, boat and sailing charters, canoeing and kayaking, diving trips, mini cruises and ferry over to the Isle of Wight with your car or as a foot passenger.

Saturdays in the high street are a hive of activity, with a weekly street market selling everything from plants, clothes and household goods to home-made cakes, fruit and veg and a whole lot more. Shopping is great with a high street brands mixed with an interesting and eclectic mix of independent retailers and boutiques. There are a few supermarkets and specialist food shops for provisions to take back to your cottage, including one that makes their own home-made dishes and desserts and freezes them.  

Lymington also has a number of really good eateries in and around the town, with the main concentration being around the high street. Lanes of Lymington serves superb food and also runs a cookery school. The Elderflower, whose chef/proprietor hails from the famous 5* Chewton Glen Hotel is superb. 

During the warmer months you can relax in the bandstand gardens and enjoy some free musical entertainment. A few minutes’ further on are Lymington Sea Water Baths, the oldest of their kind in the UK, dating back to 1833. A short walk further on is the start of Keyhaven Nature Reserve.

The Fisherman's Rest - Lymington

Once a popular haunt for smugglers, the clientele are a bit less rowdy at the Fisherman’s rest these days and come to enjoy the friendly atmosphere, good food and real ales.  Choose from a menu of well-cooked pub classics to enjoy inside in the dining room or outside on the terrace.

Not a good experience, checked website and it stated that food is served until 8pm on Sunday. Arrived with 6 people at 7pm to be told kitchen closes at 430 on Sundays and the keep forgetting to ask Fullers to update website. Didn’t seem interested in serving us a drink was more interested in chatting to couple with Yappy dog at the bar.. Looks like a nice pub from the outside. Must have just have caught staff on a off night on this occasion.

February 2024


Visited the Fishermen's Rest, which was an easy 5 minute walk from the accommodation. The staff were very helpful and welcoming, the food was delicious (we visited on a Sunday and one of us had the Roast and one the fish of the day) and the atmosphere was good. We wanted to return but run out of days.

We went 3 or 4 times during our stay in Lymington. It's a very welcoming little pub with a small but very nice outside area. Kids are welcome and the food is fantastic. Possibly the best burger I've ever eaten! Would definitely recommend.

July 2017


We enjoyed an early evening meal at thus pub. It was very convenient to our cottage. Everything was lovely. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The food delicious and the wine list pretty reasonable too. The ambience was good. It's a pretty traditional pub in its decor and that is meant to be positive because it helped create a very warm, comfortable and inviting environment. We will definitely return if we come back to Lymington.

The Ship Inn - Lymington
(Less than a mile)

(36)

In a superb location on the town’s quay with large decking area to the side - great for watching the world go by. The bar is well stocked, with an impressive selection of drinks. Due to being on the quay, the pub can get busy, so if you want to eat it’s worth booking ahead. The food is great, a step above the usual pub fare and comes in generous, hearty portions.

A nice late evening family meal was taken here. Ok Pub, A bit quiet but very spacious. Overpriced like most things in the New Forest and waitress could have been a bit less open with her comments to one of our party who was made to feel a bit embarrassed as the only person ordering a starter.

February 2024


Had a very nice Sunday lunch here. Pleasant staff, and nice surroundings.

October 2023

Poor and slow service with no proper management of order taking, and floor service.

We were disappointed with the service, waiting a long time for desserts and with two young boys this was not ideal. Food descriptions not very accurate. One order was the Massaman curry which was not as expected and the chicken, bacon and avocado salad had no avocado!

Lovely drinks on the decking just by the water. Excellent service. Food looked delicious.

If you get the chance, do book to go here. Although it can be quite expensive, it is well worth the experience

October 2022


Rather pretentious and did not really cater for non-meat eaters. Very over-priced.

August 2021


You have to book well in advance to eat here. Was on their waiting list for about a month, and luckily managed to get in through a cancellation. Food excellent. We went for the 7 courses with pairing wine. Once you are seated,, its your table for the whole evening. A lovely experience

June 2021


We enjoyed dinner here last week during our stay in Lymington. It was absolutely delicious. We chose the 7 course tasting menu and all dishes were fantastic. I especially enjoyed the crispy hen egg and the forest floor pudding which was very clever and an extremely pretty dish. We also treated ourselves to the wine pairing and each wine matched its course perfectly. A wonderful evening.

Wonderful 1833 pool - I preferred the 20 degree temperature to the stifling 30 degree in the Leisure Centre. Very friendly staff. The most spacious pool I've swum in anywhere. Swam here most days £4.00 for two hours a bargain.

September 2023


We swam here pretty much every morning of our stay that it was open. Good value for general swimming - the more expensive inflatables course looked like great fun but we didn't try it ourselves. Such a good way to start the day, and a great facility for the town as there's no beach. Would have been even better if it opened earlier or later in the day.

September 2023


We spent an afternoon there and the children enjoyed the inflatables. The weather was good. Changing rooms not clearly signed though.

August 2023


Brilliant place loved it although water was bracing

August 2023


This is a must for everyone, especially for teenagers who love a challenge. We left our two on the assault course for 2 hours whilst we wandered the salt marshes on the Solent Way nearby. The ice cream kiosk next to the baths is value for money too and sells the local ice cream with generous portions.

August 2022


Planning to go there as looked good with all the fun equipment you could hire but found the cost for a family of six (two adults, four children) too expensive so did not go after all.

August 2021


We had a great time on the inflatables one morning. My son loved it! Friendly staff and good to hire wet suits.

Did paddle boarding here, a great safe place to give it a try.

August 2023


Milford on Sea is a very quintessential English village which has retained all its charm. The seafront is a delight to stroll along and The Needles Eye Cafe produces lovely coffee and lunches which is well worth a visit. A walk around Sturt Pond is also enjoyable and through to the village.

July 2022


A proper gem. Great location for the new forest. The village is great and was only a short walk from our house. Not too busy or full of holiday makers. We will be back.

October 2021


One of my favourite places

July 2021


Good place to go if you have a buggy or wheelchair as there is a tarmac path along the top of the cliffs with great views of the Needles, plenty of parking and a kiosk serving refreshments.

September 2020


Lovely village with adequate shops on a very pretty green.

September 2019


Due to my husband breaking his leg we hired a mobility scooter for our holiday. It was a joy to ride along the front at Milford. Wonderful views of The Needles and lots of benches along the way too. Great access from the car parks. Would be great if the short path from Milford to Keyhaven could be the same good surface. We felt the rough stones would be too hard to ride on.

June 2019


Love Milford on Sea so old fashioned hasn't changed much since I use go as a child in the 1960/70s

April 2019


great walking area, small cafe-the needles, children climbing play park- crashing waves over stoned beach

Barton on Sea
(6 miles)

A stony beach with sandy areas as the tide goes out, and a great spot to do some fossil hunting. The cliffs are subject to considerable coastal erosion and at times parts of the beach can be cordoned off. The Beachcomber Café on the cliff top is one of the most popular cafés in the region. Plenty of parking in car parks along the cliff top as well as on-road parking.

To the east, Highcliffe beach towards Barton on Sea is a part sandy beach at the foot of the second most eroded cliff in England. This side of the beach is dog-friendly all year. However do check the tide times as high tide can make it difficult to walk along the beach.

To the west towards Highcliffe Castle beach, the promenade leads across the top of the small beaches inbetween the groynes with views across Christchurch Bay and Hengistbury Head. Groynes 4-8 have dog restrictions as does the promenade during the summer months, May-September.

Thank you for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage. We had a lovely time exploring the forest, the tall trees trail at Blackwater is worth a visit. Lovely bike rides on the Solent path to Milford on Sea, Hurst Castle, Lepe Country Park, Exbury and Beaulieu. We also enjoyed the Saturday market at Lymington and the Isle of Wight.
