New Forest National Park borders Lymington, a quaint market town located on Lymington River's west bank, which is just west of the Solent's western end. In addition to being a popular sailing destination, the Isle of Wight is easily accessible by ferry. You can spend your time exploring the town's many unique boutiques and craft stores, or you can dine at one of the many excellent local restaurants. Within a few miles of Lymington, you'll find yourself immersed in the New Forest's heathland and historic woodlands, as well as the coastal nature reserves that stretch for five miles and culminate in the Hurst Castle shingle spit, where Henry viii had the castle constructed in 1554. As a starting point for trips to the New Forest, the Isle of Wight, and the Hampshire coast, Lymington is a great choice.
