Lymington and Keyhaven Marshes is a 738-hectare (1,820-acre) nature reserve which stretches from Keyhaven along the south coast across the Lymington River in Hampshire. It is managed by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.[1] It is part of Solent and Southampton Water Ramsar site[2] and Special Protection Area.[3] Some areas are part of two Special Areas of Conservation, Solent and Isle of Wight Lagoons[4] and Solent Maritime and Solent.[5] It is also part of Hurst Castle and Lymington River Estuary, which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest,[6] and of North Solent Marshes Nature Conservation Review site, Grade 2.[7] Two areas are Geological Conservation Review sites,[8][9] and two are Local Nature Reserves, Boldre Foreshore[10] and Lymington-Keyhaven Marshes.[11][12]
This coastal site has saltmarshes and intertidal muds. Birds of prey include peregrine falcons, marsh harriers and merlins, while black-headed gulls and sandwich terns feed on fish in the marshes. Yellow-horned poppies, sea campions and sea aster grow in the salty mud.[1]
There is no public access to the site.
