We started or walk directly from home in Lymington and waked on five separate days, down the Lymington River, around Keyhaven Marshes and then along the coast as far as the Sandbanks Ferry.
The first part of the coastline is rural, with the sea-side villages of Milford-on-Sea and Barton-on-Sea and after that it passes through the urban centres of Bournemouth and Poole.
We walked 30 miles (48km) along the coast but a total of 59 (95km) miles to return to our starting points.
