The hill just before Lymington is a challenge 😄

There are loos here with bike racks. Also a bike rack outside Rolys Fudge shop. Great coffee at Coffee and Drift and its always worth a wander up the cobbles to the wide selection of shops, pubs and cafes

Regular service up to the main line at Brockenhurst, nice clean station.

I just wanted to share this gem with you. Cottinghams - Drinks & Cafe in Lymington is one of those lovely little cafes tucked away from the busy main street. You can enjoy your time there in a peaceful atmosphere, whether you choose to sit inside or in the outside courtyard. They serve amazing coffee and delicious treats, plus they have a unique twist, by having a gift shop. Just a heads up, there are only a couple of spots to park your bikes, so keep that in mind when you plan your visit.

Beautiful place to sit and relax, enjoy some food and drink or take in the sounds of a performance on the band stand.

Lymington Reedbeds nature reserve is home to a range of fascinating species. Sea birds are abundant and warblers sing all through the year. Migratory birds return to the reedbeds time after time, and during the winter the reserve come to life with waders and water fowl. If you’re lucky, you may even spot an otter or a water vole. Whether you’re a keen birder or simply looking to reconnect with nature, Lymington Reedbeds Nature Reserve is a wonderful place to visit. In the spring, vibrant marsh-marigold bring a welcome splash of colour to the reserve and the air is filled with the songs of sedge and reed warblers. As autumn arrives, watch migrant birds such as yellow wagtail, swallow and martins build up their food stores and rest among the reeds before they depart for warmer climes.

On the patronage of this church in Lymington: The apostle THOMAS, one of the twelve whom Jesus called into the inner circle of his disciples, is not often mentioned in the biblical writings of the New Testament. The most prominent passage is precisely the one after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which has earned him the unflattering nickname "Doubting Thomas" in popular parlance. The evangelist John reports on this in the 20th chapter of his version of the "Good News" (this is the translation of the word "Gospel"). This theme naturally also provided an opportunity for dissemination in religious art of many eras, for example in one of the most famous paintings by Caravaggio - if you are interested, see => https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_ungl%C3%A4ubige_Thomas_(Caravaggio)#/media/Datei:The_Incredulity_of_Saint_Thomas.jpg - The memorial day of the Apostle Thomas in the calendar of saints is sometimes celebrated on July 3rd, sometimes on December 21st.

Depending on where you start on the route, try to include the town on it. handy to pick up snacks for trip, or if you end here, stop in one of the many fantastic cafes or eateries to refuel.
