About the event
Join us for Normandy Marsh Explorer, a relaxed walk through the Normandy Marshes.
Our route follows the Lymington River and seawall, with panoramic views across the Solent to the Isle of Wight, Hurst Castle and the Needles. On the return, we’ll walk via the “ancient highway” and Normandy Lane, taking time to discover the rich history of these marshlands.
The Lymington-Keyhaven Marshes are renowned for their varied wildlife. We’ll look out for birds and other wildlife, as well as the distinctive plants of this coastal landscape. Every visit brings something different, with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery and spot wildlife.
We’ll also explore the area’s fascinating past, from its origins in the Iron Age and the heyday of the salt industry to its strategic role during the Second World War. Along the way, we’ll share stories of smuggling, imprisoned kings and past invasions.
The walk will take place…
