Walhampton is a small riverside hamlet on the western edge of the New Forest in Hampshire, England, perched above the mouth of the Lymington River and looking across to the Solent and the town of Lymington. The settlement is noted for a prominent country house that has historically shaped the area’s character and for easy access to coastal walks, woodland and salt‑marsh fringes, so it appeals to residents and day visitors who enjoy a blend of maritime and rural surroundings.
Portmore is an even smaller cluster of houses and farms nearby, set among commons and grazing typical of the New Forest National Park. Its identity is quietly shaped by the coast and by proximity to Lymington’s yachting and tourism economy, with local life revolving around outdoor pursuits, birdwatching, small‑scale agriculture and conservation of the surrounding habitats.
