Paddle and Picnic at Balmer Lawn, New Forest
Balmer Lawn is a beautiful spot to splash around in the Lymington River. Both banks are grassy and there are areas of shade too.
The river is shallow in some places and deeper in others. I also understand its depth changes throughout the year.
This is a popular spot and can be very, very busy.
