The village of Beaulieu sits in the quiet valley of the Beaulieu River within the ancient woodlands of the New Forest in Hampshire, England. The landscape is a mix of heath, ancient oaks and river estuary, with free-roaming ponies and deer and easy access to the Solent, giving it a strong sense of place and a largely rural character.
Its history centres on the thirteenth‑century Beaulieu Abbey and the later Palace House and Beaulieu Estate, home to the Montagu family, which now supports tourism, events and heritage attractions such as the National Motor Museum. The settlement remains small and community‑focused, with an economy that combines estate activities, hospitality and conservation, drawing many visitors while retaining a tranquil, historic atmosphere.
