Story of Milford Walk on Sunday

The Story of Milford on Sea history walk lead by Lymington Town Tours takes place this Sunday. Meet on the village green at 11am.

The Walk: "The Story of Milford - a guided walk featuring the local history of Milford on Sea. The old hamlet of Milford was mentioned in the Domesday Book: a few houses around a green and a watermill, having about 50 inhabitants. Nothing changed very much for centuries until the late Victorian age, when it decided to change its image.

Stroll through the village of Milford-on-Sea and its lovely wooded Pleasure Grounds while your guide relates how the sleepy hamlet of Milford tried to live down its smuggling days and changed its name to try to rival genteel Eastbourne. Hear the story of the string of pearls seven yards long.

Note: This is a longer walk than the normal tour length, taking about 1¾ hours and including some footpaths. The footpath by the Mill Pond and woods would be unsuitable for wheelchairs.

This walk starts on the Village Green and finishes on the cliff top at the Beach House. 

Lymington Town Tours are a not-for-profit, volunteer-manned organisation and as such ask for a donation of £5 for each adult walker (school age children go free). This sum helps to cover admin costs.
