Milford on Sea Rowing Regatta this Saturday

The ever popular Milford on Sea Coastal Rowing Regatta takes place this Saturday 12th July 2025 just off of Milford on Sea seafront.

This regatta is part of the Hants and Dorset Championship Regatta of the summer season and will be a day full of coastal racing.

The Story of Milford Walking Tour this Sunday

The 'Story of Milford Walking Tour' of this season will take place at 11am on Sunday 13th July 2025.

Hosted by Lymington Town Tours, the walk starts on Milford on Sea Village Green and finishes on the cliff top at the Beach House with a duration of 1¾ hours.

The old hamlet of Milford was mentioned in the Domesday Book as "a few houses around a green and a watermill, having about 50 inhabitants." Nothing changed significantly 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. 

On the walk, you will discover lots of interesting stories about the village's history and some intriguing residents, such as Daisy from Newlands Manor, who, for a short period, owned the seven-yard string of pearls. All will be revealed on the day!

There is no need to book; just turn up at the start point a few minutes before the walk time is shown so that you can meet the guide.

Suggested minimum donation of £5 per adult walker. School-age children and well-behaved dogs go free. Cash only. (Cards cannot be taken.)

Please note: Some parts of these walks may have uneven ground or restricted access at some points for wheelchairs or buggies, and the footpath by the Mill Pond and woods may not be suitable for those unable to walk easily.
