Beaulieu Hampshire

National Motor Museum                    

From the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons, the National Motor Museum boasts one of the finest collections of cars, motorcycles and motoring memorabilia in the world.

 

Palace House                   

Palace House, once the gatehouse of the medieval Beaulieu Abbey, has been the Montagu family home since 1538.

 

In an idyllic New Forest setting, overlooking the picturesque Beaulieu River millpond, Palace House was remodelled and extended during the 1800s and is now a fine example of a Victorian country house. Inside, its ecclesiastical heritage sets the grand gothic tone for a home bristling with character and adorned with family treasures, portraits, and memorabilia.

 

Grounds and Gardens

Take some time to explore Beaulieu's grounds and gardens via the network of footpaths that criss-cross the attraction.

 

The gardens have developed formally and informally firstly as the grounds of Beaulieu Abbey and later Palace House and are now carefully managed by a team of gardeners.

 

Secret Army Exhibition
