Keyhaven, Pennington, Oxey and Normandy Marshes, also known as the North Solent Marshes,[1] are three areas of marshland in Hampshire, England. The village of Keyhaven lies to the west, the village of Pennington to the north, and the town of Lymington to the northeast.
The marshes fall within the Hurst Castle And Lymington River Estuary Site of Special Scientific Interest.
A number of rare vagrant birds have occurred at the marshes including a Stilt Sandpiper in 2002, and a Lesser Sand Plover in 2003.
Pennington Marshes
At Pennington Marshes, there are several lagoons, situated just inside the seawall - at the western end is Fishtail Lagoon, and the the east of that Butts Lagoon.
