Lymington has many restaurants, public houses and takeaways and lots of individual shops, as well as one or two multiple stores. Discover the hidden park behind the shops, or a visit our market which is held every Saturday from 8am till 4pm summer and winter, where you can purchase everything you need for that perfect holiday. All within a 20 minute walk or 5 minutes by car. A map giving directions will be found in your cottage.

The New Forest National Park is only 2 miles away where 93,000 acres of Forest are waiting for you to explore. Catch the New Forest Ponies wondering through some of the villages, walk through the enclosures and see if you can spot a Fallow or Red Deer. Just remember that the ponies can kick and that there is a forty mile an hour speed limit on unfenced Forest roads.

Come in the spring when the young foals can be seen everywhere, sit in the shade of the forest or on the cliff tops in the summer sun. In the Autumn come and see the splendour of the autumn colours, and in winter the forest is a magical place and there are so many attractions and museums to visit and you will find all the details in your cottage.
