Every Saturday there is a Charter Market which runs the entire length of the High Street. Lymington offers a branch line rail link to the New Forest village of Brockenhurst (approximately 15 minutes), which is some 5 miles to the north by road, which in turn offers a mainline fast link to London (Waterloo approximately 90 minutes). Junction 1 of the M27 lies about 12 miles to the north, and links with the M3 for access to London. The stunning New Forest National Park is just a few minutes drive from the town with extensive walking, cycling and riding opportunities.
