An interesting place to visit, just 5 miles from Lymington, is Hatchet Pond. This is the largest pond in the New Forest, covering 6.7 hectares. It originates from the 18th Century, when it provided the water power for the nearby Hatchet Mill, an Iron Mill which is now a private house. The pond is very popular as a picnic area where families enjoy feeding the ducks and swans, and can buy an ice cream from the van which is usually parked here throughout the summer. There is ample parking and public conveniences. There is a model aircraft flying area on Hatchet Moor nearby. And from Mid june to mid March Hatchet Pond it is a favourite spot for course fishing - roach, bream, tench, carp, pike, eel, and rudd have all been caught here. And it is a very romantic spot to watch the sunset. Just one of the many beautiful places you can enjoy when you stay in my holiday caravan www.cogb.com/lymington
