Lymington is a town so charming, so perfect, you'll wonder if you've stepped into a 1950s postcard. With its high streets lined with colourful shops, lovely cafés and quirky pubs, a stroll through Lymington is about as wholesome and cheerful as it gets. The town's harbour is picturesque, full of sailboats and fishing boats at the ready to whisk you away for an afternoon out at sea. For those who salivate at the thought of steamed mussels and crisped-up cod, Lymington is the finest destination for seafood lovers. Every August, the town is host to the Seafood Festival, where jazz and blues musicians play great tunes from every street corner, shops remain open late into the night, chefs slinging some of the freshest, best seafood to the hungry masses.
