Travel guide
Understand
Beaulieu means "beautiful place" in French, and from 1204 was home to a Cistercian abbey. The village has been owned by the Montagu family since the dissolution of Beaulieu Abbey, and they have followed a policy of developing the tourist potential of the village, resulting in a mixture of attractions from the National Motor Museum, Palace House and Beaulieu Abbey. The village itself is very attractive, clustering around the mill pond and the tidal headwaters of the Beaulieu River. Keep an eye open for the ponies and donkeys which can often be found congregating in the village's main street.
Get in
Beaulieu is in the south of England, in the New Forest between Bournemouth and Southampton, with easy access from London and the Home Counties.
