Local Attractions\Lymington

From the late seventeenth century, Lymington had a thriving shipbuilding industry. Much of the town centre is Victorian and Georgian, with narrow cobbled streets, giving an air of quaintness. Lymington is particularly famous for its smuggling history, there are unproven stories that under the High Street are smugglers' tunnels which run from the old inns to the town quay.

Lymington is famous for its sailing history, and in recent years, has been home to numerous Olympic gold medallist sailors. World famous regattas such as the Royal Lymington Cup, Etchells Worlds, Macnamara's Bowl, and Source Regatta are held here. There are two Sailing Clubs in the town, the Royal Lymington Yacht Club and the Lymington Town Sailing Club.

Sleepy Lymington is a major yachting centre with three marinas. The quaint old town has many shops, catering for tourists and sailing enthusiasts alike. The local market takes place every Saturday in the High Street. It recently received the accolade of 'best town on the coast' in the UK for living, due to its beautiful scenery, strong transport links, low crime levels, and high quality of life.
