| At the bottom of the
              High Street is Quay Hill a cobbled stone street that leads down
              to Lymington Town Quay. In bygone days Lymington Quay was a busy
                commercial port exporting great quantities of salt to
                Newfoundland,
                importing coal for the salt industry, rum from the West Indies
                and timber from Norway for shipbuilding. Today about 12 commercial
                fishing boats operate out of the Quay, and there are around
                100 berths for visiting boats.
 Lymington
                  Rowing Club is situated
                    close to the quay; it is a common site to see
                    them launch their boats on the slipway. The Puffin
                      ferry operates from the
                        quay with a ferry service to Yarmouth, Isle of
                Wight and other cruises.
