If you are planning a day trip toward the southern coast of the Forest, the market town of Lymington is a popular stop with its cobbled quay and nautical history. Just a short trip from the heart of town, The Old Mill Pub with Rooms provides a peaceful setting to pause, refuel and enjoy views across the river.
As reported by the Daily Echo, the venue has earned warm praise for its attractive gardens, inviting atmosphere and quality food. Its position beside the water makes it an appealing choice for a long lunch in the open air during milder weather, or a quiet evening dinner after a day spent exploring the nearby trails.
For visitors wishing to make a weekend of it, the pub also features 12 bedrooms on site. Having accommodation right beside the river offers a convenient base for exploring both the coastal paths around Lymington and the broader New Forest countryside further inland.
Whether you are looking for a meal in the garden or planning a overnight break near the coast, it is a very pleasant option to add to your itinerary when visiting the southern Forest.
