The BANK HOLIDAY hike: New Milton to Lymington: Beauties of the Solent Way


Details
NEW GORGEOUS HIKE ALERT!
Time for your Mama Jon to take you to a new beautiful hike on the coast of the Solent Way that I had kept hidden from you for a little while for you to enjoy this summer. Isn't it awesome?!
To be fair, this hike is a glorious one and by the sea on the top of that! What does it change you say? Well, we can swim! Yaaaaaayyyyyy
this hike is pretty easy, so perfect for a bank holiday.
We will start our trip in the coastal town of New Milton and finish in the famous port town of Lymington. This hike will have a mixture of landscapes, from red cliffs to sandy and pebble beaches, wild lagoons and some stunning views of the Isle of Wight and if we get lucky, we could even spot some wildlife such as bottlenose dolphins, spoonbills, white tailed eagles or seals that inhabit the area. Just be aware that the first station is located about 20 minutes from the coast so we will have to walk in the street for a little bit... until we reach beauty!
We will walk pass Hurst castle and lighthouse, built by Henry the 8th as a defence fort against the French invaders in the 16th Century and will take some time to glare at the beauty that surrounds us.
The train journey takes about 1h45min and is direct except for the return where we will have an extra 10 minutes journey. People, I will have my UNO cards with me so be ready for the battle on the train!
Afterwards as always, there are some amazing fudge and gelato shops in the town as well as many tasty restaurants. Halfway through, there will be a nice little cafe with burgers and other tasty treats with some pretty seaviews.
