Where in the New Forest is my holiday caravan?


Lymington

The New Forest is a very varied environment, from the heathland of the north west of the National Park to the dense Forest around the central area of Lyndhurst, and my favourite part, the south east coastal area around Lymington. With its pretty villages, smaller heathland spaces, mixed deciduous forest, river estuaries and beautiful coast this has to be the place to stay. So we start at the historic Hampshire town of Lymington. Explore the cobbled street down to the quay,and the many old pubs, shops and top class restuarants. Visit the Saturday street market. Lymington does not have a beach but the large open air sea water swimming pool overlooks the marina, with its impressive yachts, many owned by the rich and famous. And the beach at Milford on Sea is only a few miles away. There is a Railway and a Bus Station, and for about £5 you can take a taxi from either to my holiday caravan on the outskirts of Lymington. However you may prefer to drive so that you can explore the whole area properly, so leave Lymington in the direction of Milford on Sea. You turn left at the first roundabout, then immediately right into Lower Pennington Lane. If you look at my map http://tinyurl.com/c2shmm you will see that the caravan park is at the end of the lane surrounded by fields and open countryside. You can see the Solent and the Isle of Wight from here. See my website www.cogb.com/lymington for more details.
