This coastal town is a destination for outdoorsy types, foodies and shopaholics
MORNING
Shopping ahoy! Richmond by the sea is how I’ve heard Lymington described. Well, this Georgian market town on the New Forest’s coast certainly has a buzzy vibe and a shopping experience that includes chic boutiques; but with a history based on ship building, smuggling and salt, it offers a far more diverse break away.
Although known worldwide as a yachting resort, Lymington is still fundamentally a traditional market town. If you’re here on a Saturday, join the throng as the impressive, weekly market takes over the High Street with all manner of goods. You are as likely to discover on-trend jars of moreish Korean kimchi (from Pear Tree Cottage) as a clutter of bric-a-brac. There are stalls with rainbow rows of colourful coats, others devoted entirely to jigsaws, hats, fishing tackle or cupcakes, alongside others displaying Italian cheeses and olives. It’s wonderful stuff and an attraction in its own right.
