If you\u2019re making the trip down south for the Lymington Seafood Festival<\/a> this year, why not stay the week or make it a long weekend? We\u2019d love to show off our little town<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

The High Street & Saturday Market<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s more to Lymington\u2019s buzzing high street<\/a> than meets the eye\u2026 as well as the main street which extends from the top of the town right down to the quay, the more curious visitor will find even more to explore down the alleys and side courtyards set back from the main road. As well as high street fashion, there are an exceptional range of independent shops, not forgetting the famous Charter Market<\/a> on Saturdays, which dates back to the Medieval 13th century history of the town.<\/p>\n

The Quay <\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically the territory of smugglers and layabouts, Lymington Quay<\/a> these days boasts sunbaked afternoons (usually!), sitting outside the Boathouse Caf\u00e9<\/a> and The Ship Inn<\/a>, or else bringing your fish and chips to eat on the quay wall. Looking at the yachts, or just watching the world go by \u2013 the quay is a favourite spot of ours to while away the hours.<\/p>\n

The Sea Wall Walk & Nature Reserve <\/strong><\/p>\n

Just a ten minute stroll from the town centre and a few hundred yards from the festival site is the sea wall walk<\/a> across the salt marshes towards Keyhaven. Starting from the Yacht Haven<\/a>, this flat and accessible walk quickly has you blown away by spectacular sea views on all sides, as well as a fine look at the Isle of Wight<\/a> on a clear day.<\/p>\n

The Sea Water Baths<\/strong><\/p>\n

Situated just a few metres from our festival site at Bath Road<\/a> are the Lymington Seawater Baths<\/a>. As the oldest open air sea water baths in the UK, the Lido really is quite a feature, especially since having installed an inflatable obstacle course<\/a> for young and old alike! As well as swimming, splashing and clambering, the Lido also offers a safe enclosed environment for paddle-boarding<\/a>. Perfect to practice those turns before heading out on the sea<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The New Forest National Park <\/strong><\/p>\n

We really are spoiling you for choice here \u2013 the likelihood is that on your way to Lymington you will have travelled through the rather special New Forest National Park<\/a>. Whether you go for dog walks, picnics, horse-riding<\/a> or just to look at the free roaming animals, the forest is a must-see when you\u2019re in the area.<\/p>\n

Is there anything we\u2019ve missed? If you\u2019re local to the town or know it well, we\u2019d love to hear what you\u2019d recommend for visitors to this part of the world\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
