A bit late for Granty but might help others.
I was born and brought up on the IOW until I "Emigrated"! to Southampton some 25 years ago.
Unless you travel during the night or early morning, junct.1 of m27 through Lyndhurst is a no go.
As someone has mentioned, queues into Lyndhurst (the village had two lanes, now only one, good old New Forest council!, railway crossing at Brockenhurst and another one at Lymington.
Leave m27 at junct. 2, head south, through Beaulieu, then to Lymington.
The road from Beaulieu is open forest with ponys etc roaming freely, but a good road.
It is a few miles longer, but much, much quicker, I use it all the time now.

IOW ex-pat!

As an alternative to Tim's suggestion, when we're going to Lytton Lawns which is close to Lymington we take the A31 from junction 1 of the M27 up the hill to Stoney Cross and turn left towards Emery Down. Go through the village of Emery Down and you arrive at the A35 just to the west of Lyndhurst. We then turn right along the A35 for some miles until we reach the B3058 on the left. Take this and follow signs through Wootton, Tiptoe, Hordle to Everton and thence left onto the A337 which will take you straight into Lymington.
This sounds complicated, but again it's mainly open forest roads and little used main roads and it avoids all the recognised bottlenecks.
Check it out on the map - it works for us........
Cheers,
Vic
