River Brockenhurst, England, United Kingdom

What to expect

The Beaulieu River is a small river in southern England, flowing through the New Forest and emptying into the Solent. The river has a unique history, having been owned by Lord Montagu of Beaulieu since 1724. The river is 12 miles long, with the last four miles being tidal and navigable to small craft. The village of Buckler's Hard, located on the river, was once a significant shipbuilding centre and is now a popular tourist destination. The river and surrounding area are home to a variety of wildlife and offer opportunities for walking and boating. Nearby attractions include the Beaulieu National Motor Museum, New Forest Activities, and Beaulieu Abbey
