Lymington Transportation

You can walk nearly everywhere in Lymington if you are feeling energetic, the entire high street is about a mile long. I wouldn't advise walking from Lymington to Milford or Brockenhurst along the main road (A337) as the traffic is fast and the paths infrequent.

Call 01590 688888 or 01590 673827 to order a taxi or wait in the taxi rank next to Boots the Optician.

There are two small stations in Lymington - one on the Pier and one in the town - that are connected to the Lymington - Brockenhurst flyer. Once you get to Brockenhurst (the only station out of Lymington on this line), you can get to anywhere on the Weymouth Waterloo line.

This line was under threat of being shut down but has been saved from extinction by being turned into a heritage line. They use the old slam-shut doors and are painted in the historic green colour. This makes it not only funtional but a new tourist attraction, hooray!

The buses run fairly regularly in and out of Lymington - They go to Bournemouth (bus 123) or Southampton (bus 56) on different routes, and buses run less frequently to the smaller towns and villages like Boldre, Beaulieu and Pennington. Its probably best just to check the timetables at the bus station once you are there.

There is an information office at the bus station, which closes in the afternoons. However, you can get bus passes and extended tickets here, plus information about local places to go and see.

The bus station is on the high street, opposite Superdrug and Threshers.
