Milford-on-Sea is one of the very few remaining coastal villages on the south coast. It has over 50 listed properties and retains much of its early 20th Century character. Magnificent woodland and cliff top walks are immediately on hand and it is only a short drive to the New Forest. Its coastal paths offers spectacular views and walks from the western end of the Isle of Wight, right across Christchurch Bay. There are multiple pubs, restaurants, and
New Forest accommodation options and things to see including Hurst Castle. Henry VIII built this to defend the Solent and a passenger ferry runs between the castle and Keyhaven with its lively fishing and yachting harbour, sea-wall walks to the birds on the Old Salterns and the historic Gunn Inn.
