G.Knowles's video: Dunster Castle and Village Dunster Nr Minehead Somerset United Kingdom 6

@Dunster Castle and Village, Dunster, Nr Minehead, Somerset, United Kingdom. ( 6 )
Every year, Lymington Yacht Haven and the town High Street hosts a fleet of stunning Ferraris, a beautiful Italian market, live music and much more! The free event is the perfect family fun day and took place on Sunday 2nd July 2017 with an estimated fleet of over 40 Ferrari cars in attendance. The last one I attended was the 1st July 2018 one. It was very hot and sunny and this time I went to the Yacht Haven to get some better pictures and Videos. There are too many in the High street of Lymington on this special free day event. During this time the bus stops in the high street are closed due to the vast amount of people visiting at this time. Lymington Italia Festival is organised by the Lymington & Pennington Town Council and supported by Lymington Yacht Haven, the UK Ferrari Owners Club and other Lymington Businesses. Lymington is a port on the west bank of the Lymington River on the Solent, in the New Forest district of Hampshire, England. It is to the east of the South East Dorset conurbation, and faces Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight which is connected to it by a car ferry, operated by Wightlink. The town of Lymington lies within Southampton and S.W. Hampshire and contains the villages of Beaulieu, Boldre, Hordle, Milford-on-Sea, Pennington and Sway. Under the Local Government Act 1972 the borough of Lymington was abolished on April 1, 1974, becoming an unparished area in the district of New Forest, with Charter Trustees. The area was subsequently parished as the four parishes of New Milton, Lymington and Pennington, Milford-on-Sea and Hordle. Lymington New Forest Hospital opened in 2007, replacing the earlier Lymington Hospital. This is a community hospital and has a Minor Injuries Unit but no Accident and Emergency. The town has a large tourist industry, and is situated near the beautiful New Forest. It is a major yachting centre with three marina’s. A beautiful, Georgian market town, Lymington ( population 14,330 ) is situated on the southern edge of the New Forest, between Southampton and Bournemouth and at the western end of the Solent. The town is world renown as a sailing resort; there are two large marinas Berthon and Haven and two sailing clubs RLYC and Lymington Town. Lymington has several interesting independent shops including some designer boutiques. On Saturday a market is held in the High Street, the origins of which probably date back to the 13th century. At the top of the High Street is the Parish Church, St Thomas Church ( built around 1250 ), from the bottom of the High Street a cobblestone road leads down to the Old Town Quay, still used as a base by commercial fishing boats. The original HMS Pickle was built in 1799. She survived the Battle of Trafalgar and was the first ship to bring the news of Nelson's victory back to Britain, along with the sad announcement of Nelson's death. The replica HMS Pickle was built in St Petersburg in 1996. Originally launched as the schooner Alevtina Tuy, she was later converted into a replica of HMS Pickle for the Trafalgar Bi-centennial celebrations. The Lymington Open Air Sea Water Baths a life guarded open air lido in Lymington, Hampshire. Built in 1833 it is the oldest lido in the UK, and at 110 metres long by 50 metres wide it is also one of the largest in size and in volume with 1.7 million gallons of water. The baths reopened in 2010 following a campaign by local people who also completed the baths' refurbishment. The current sea water baths date back to 1833 when the Lymington Bath and Improvement Company was set up. The bath house was built shortly afterwards and is now the club house for the Lymington Town Sailing Club. As time went on the baths struggled to compete with others in the area, particularly at Bournemouth. In 1855 they were sold to George Inman who owned a boat building company further up the river. In 1886 the Lymington Sea Baths Company leased the baths from Inman. The baths continued under several different owners until 1929 when they were taken over the by the Lymington Corporation.The 1930s were something of a golden period for outdoors baths and lidos with people flocking to bathe on bank holidays in the summer. Today the baths are owned by Lymington and Pennington Town Council. You can walk along the beautiful Solent Way coastline from Lymington, the Solent Way follows the sea wall west around marshes and nature reserves until it reaches the picturesque waterside hamlet of Keyhaven and Hurst Castle can be easily viewed by taking the small ferry from Keyhaven. Harbour -. This walk I did in 2016 and in places it is a bit boring. However the views of the Isle of Wight along with the ferry arriving and leaving Lymington Harbour provide you with an interesting opportunity for taking many photos or videos. The wildlife along this part or the Solent Way is of interest to many walkers also.
