Pennington is a coastal ward on the western edge of the New Forest district in Hampshire, England, sitting beside the Solent near Lymington. The area is notable for its low-lying salt marshes and commons - including Pennington Marshes and Pennington Common - which create a distinctive mix of mudflats, reedbeds and heathland that attract birdwatchers and walkers.
Locally the character is a blend of village life and maritime connection: small shops and community facilities serve residents alongside boating and tourism linked to the nearby quay and ferries to the Isle of Wight. The landscape and history reflect long-standing coastal uses from fishing and salt-related activity to contemporary conservation and leisure, making it a quietly popular spot for nature lovers and commuters alike.
