The Situation Keyhaven is said to derive from "Cyhaefen" the Saxon term for a point of disembarkation to and from the Isle of Wight for animals bound for market. It is believed to have been a port from as early as 1206. Keyhaven is a distinctive hamlet with a tidal harbour beloved by yachtsmen, anglers, birdwatchers and artists drawn by the play of light and colour on the marshes and gleaming channels. The two sailing clubs are a short distance away as is The Gunn Inn. Keyhaven is about three miles from Lymington which offers a good selection of local shops and restaurants. Southampton and Bournemouth airports offer both national and international flights. Lymington also has a railway station with branch line to Brockenhurst where you can catch a train to London Waterloo (approx. 90 minutes).
