Love where we live!
It's a statement made frequently in this area - and for good reason. The Lymington and New Forest area is abundant in beauty, nature and action. The combination of river, sea and forest is second to none and draws in both locals and visitors all year round. Who can resist a blustery winter walk around the sea wall; the breathtaking flora and delicate foals of spring; lazy summer picnics with paddles in forest streams and scuffing along colourful leaf-strewn forest paths in the autumn?
