The Barton beds are associated with the coast's fossil-bearing geology. That makes the landscape interesting beyond the sea view. Choose a suitable local interpretation or outing rather than assuming any part of the cliffs can be approached, climbed or disturbed simply because fossils are associated with the area.

No. They belong to commoners whose grazing rights help maintain the working Forest landscape. Appreciate them from a distance without feeding or petting them. Understanding that relationship adds more to a visit than treating the animals as props for a photograph.

The Lymington-Keyhaven marshes combine mudflats, grazing marsh and saline lagoons with remains of the old salterns. Wading birds use the lagoons as feeding places, while surviving salt docks recall an industry that imported coal for boiling houses and exported salt by barge. Choose this part of the coast for the connection between habitats and working history, alongside Barton's separate fossil-bearing cliffs.
