Begin your 'self-guided' adventure at Jaunt-E-Bikes HQ in Keyhaven, with free all-day parking and a friendly safety briefing. Follow a 'self-guided' mobile-guided New Forest coastal e-bike route, riding through Keyhaven and Lymington’s salt marshes, an area of outstanding natural beauty with lagoons, wildlife, and panoramic views across the Solent and to The Needles.

Stop as often as you like: this route offers some of the best photo spots in the New Forest. Roll into Lymington, a Georgian market town filled with yachts, cafés, boutiques, and a buzzing quay. Continue to Milford on Sea, with its beachfront cafés, bakeries, and relaxed coastal vibe, perfect for lunch.

Return your bikes, then hop board the little Keyhaven ferry to Hurst Castle for a peaceful river cruise. Explore the Tudor sea fortress, climb the ramparts for sweeping coastal views, and wander the quiet beaches around the castle before hopping back on board for your return ferry journey.
