Signposts as you enter Pennington from the Bournemouth direction or the Southampton direction say that you are now entering Lymington AND Pennington, as if the two were classed as one settlement. In actual fact, they are separate communities, with Lymington being a lot more fast paced than the gentle village life of Pennington.
