Lymington River, Protected waterway in Hampshire, England.

The Lymington River extends 22 kilometers from Ocknell Plain through the New Forest, meeting its tributaries Highland Water and Ober Water at Bolderford Bridge.

In 1731, the construction of a causeway and bridge across the estuary by Captain Cross led to significant changes in the river's siltation patterns.

The designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1997 reflects the local commitment to preserving natural habitats and geological features.

The Environment Agency conducts regular monitoring of water quality, assessing biological and chemical parameters to maintain environmental standards.

The river system contains 34.8 hectares of protected land, featuring rapid plant succession patterns and unmodified fluvial processes across Highland Water.
