Lymington River

The Lymington River is a small, tidal waterway in southern England, flowing through the New Forest and into the Solent. It’s fed by local streams and receives seawater during high tide, creating a mix of freshwater and saltwater environments. The river supports diverse wildlife, including fish, birds, and invertebrates, and is popular for boating, fishing, and nature observation. Its scenic banks and cultural heritage make it important for both recreation and conservation. The river’s health depends on proper management to balance ecological needs with human activities and to ensure it remains a vibrant part of the local landscape.
