Milford-on-Sea is one of the very few remaining coastal villages on the south coast. It still has over 50 listed properties and retains much of its early 20th Century character. Magnificent woodland and cliff top walks immediately on hand and it is only a short drive to the heart of the New Forest. Milford-on-Sea’s extensive coastal path offers spectacular views from the western end of the Isle of Wight, right across Christchurch Bay to the Isle of Purbeck. Linked to Milford-on-Sea’s conservation area are some 14 acres of woodland with a network of footpaths leading to the narrow Danes Stream river which runs parallel to the coast, only a few minutes walk away. There are ample pubs and eating places, plentiful accommodation including B&B, self-catering apartments, chalets, lodges and caravans, and parks for touring caravans as well as inns and 1 to 3 star hotels with traditional character and service. To the south-east is a shingle spit leading to Hurst Castle, which Hentry VIII built to defend the Solent and is now managed by English Heritage. A passenger ferry runs between the castle and the hamlet of Keyhaven with its lively fishing and yachting harbour, sea-wall walks to the birds on the Old Salterns and the historic Gunn Inn. Because of their position, the lack of main road through traffic, the fine Norman Church and old fashioned charm, Milford-on-Sea and Keyhaven are popular destinations for visitors throughout the year.
