EVERTON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA
Everton is a popular, pleasant village, enjoying a strong community spirit and with the benefit of a comprehensive post office/village store, church, social club, recreation ground with children's play area plus a village pub/restaurant. Everton is located midway between the towns of Lymington and New Milton which are only 3 miles away, and which provide easy access by British Rail to the larger shopping centre of Southampton and the seaside resort of Bournemouth, both of which have airports for domestic and international flights. The New Forest village of Brockenhurst also provides a fast train service direct to London Waterloo.
In addition, Milford on Sea is approximately 1.5 miles from Everton and is a thriving coastal village boasting a long shingle beach, lined with colourful beach huts and stunning unspoilt views across the Solent. The beach is a hive of activity in the summer with windsurfers, kite surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders, and swimmers also enjoying the sandbar at low tide. This traditional village is a secret haven of character and charm with its lively centre based around the Village Green offering a first-class range of shops, restaurants, pubs and cafes, as well as local amenities including a greengrocer, butchers, fishmongers, two general stores, a medical centre and a dental surgery. The Village Green is home to several events during the year, including an Arts & Music Festival, May Fair, Dog Show and Christmas Carol Service, with the Community Centre and the four village churches running busy programmes throughout the year.
Walks can be enjoyed along the sea wall towards the popular market town of Lymington and the tranquil hamlet of Keyhaven as a perfect place to stop and enjoy views towards the Isle of Wight, Hurst Castle and the Needles. The walk from Keyhaven and Milford along Hurst Spit to the castle dating back to Tudor Times, is a must. To the west you can walk to Barton-on-Sea and enjoy the views across to Christchurch Bay, Hengistbury Head and the Purbeck Hills beyond.
Milford-on-Sea has beautiful walks through sheltered woodland in the local Nature Reserves of Studland Common and the Pleasure Grounds as well as Sturt Pond. The New Forest National Park, only a short drive away, covers an area of 566 square kilometres and is made up of vast tracts of unspoilt woodland, heathland and river valleys where deer, ponies and cattle continue to roam free. Clear rivers and shady groves provide tranquillity and a car-free haven for walking, cycling and horse riding.
