Descripción
Keyhaven and Pennington Marshes are sheltered by the Hurst Spit and part of a larger National Nature Reserve. The variety of habitats and the lack of sheltered alternatives to the west, attract a wide range of residents and passage migrants, including rarities.

Accesso
Access within the reserve, is by level footpaths, although descent from the sea wall can be steep. Cyclists use the sea wall. Wheelchairs are not recommended.
The best point of entry is close to the car park in Keyhaven (fee payable, £9 for a full day; early arrival is strongly recommended), although entry is possible via various routes from Lymington.
