Retire to Lymington
One of the best things about Lymington is that it’s all so accessible. You don’t need to jump in a car to enjoy it. The high street, the quay, the post office, the library – they’re all within walking distance. Buses and trains can take you further afield if you want to visit family or explore. And if you enjoy fresh air and open spaces, the sea is on one side and the New Forest on the other – peaceful places that are perfect for a gentle walk or simply sitting with a flask of tea and watching the world go by.
Things to Do in Lymington
Lymington is a town with history and character, and that shows in its cobbled streets and little corners full of charm. You can visit the St Barbe Museum to find out more about the town’s past, or wander down to the quay and watch the boats go by. There are cosy bookshops, independent stores, and friendly places to stop for a bite to eat.
From coffee mornings to live music and seasonal fairs, Lymington has a busy little calendar that brings people together. You’ll find local craft events, charity fundraisers, flower shows and open gardens – all lovely ways to stay connected, meet people, or just enjoy a change of scenery. The local community is welcoming and easy-going, and it’s not long before friendly faces become familiar ones.
The town’s Saturday market has been going for years – a real favourite with locals. There’s also the Sea Water Baths in the summer months, the marina, and quiet spots like Woodside Gardens, where it’s easy to spend an afternoon. The local area is flat and easy to walk around, and you’ll often find others out and about enjoying the same simple pleasures.
While Lymington has plenty to offer, it’s also well-connected to nearby towns. A short train journey takes you to Brockenhurst or Southampton. If you fancy a visit to the seaside, Milford-on-Sea is nearby, and the New Forest opens up miles of woodland and countryside to explore. You don’t need to go far to enjoy a day out – and there’s always someone to go with, if you’d rather not go alone.
