Lymington's History and Highlights: A Self-Guided Tour Discount Tickets

Overview

The tour starts at the war memorial beside St Thomas' Church, where Norman overlords once used religion as an instrument of power. You'll follow the medieval grid that still defines Lymington today, visit the Angel Inn courtyard where a churchwarden ran a lucrative smuggling operation, and hear stories of French Royalist troops billeted during the Revolution. The tour ends at Fishermen's Quay, where the river that gave Lymington its reason for existing still flows, and where the Essex Regiment embarked for Normandy on 3rd June, 1944. Along the way you'll uncover the story of Captain Arthur Phillip, who left from this quay to found Australia's first colony, and discover General James Wolfe's last night in England before winning Canada from the French.
