History of Lymington (from Wikipedia)

Lymington is thought to date back to an Anglo-Saxon settlement formed during the 6th century called "limen tun" ("limen" meaning marshy river and "tun" meaning farm or hamlet). It is recorded in the Domesday book (1086) as "Lentune". The town won the right to hold a market in the early 13th Century, and became a Parliamentary Borough in the 16th Century.

The nearby salt marshes provided resources and, from the Middle Ages through to the 19th Century, Lymington was famous for making salt. It's port supported a thriving shipbuilding industry from the late 17th Century - and also a thriving smuggling operation! Indeed it is rumoured (but unproven) that there are smugglers' tunnels running under the High Street, from the old inns to the town quay.

Much of Lymington town centre is Georgian and Victorian, with pretty cobbled streets.
