Did the walk from Milford on sea to Lymington which admittedly is a long walk. Took us 3 hours at a brisk pace. Very unspoilt but we all felt it was a bit boring as the scenery was the same all the way through with few points of differentiation or interest. Recommend either starting at Lymington and doing a shorter loop or hiring bikes next time.
