Beaulieu

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Beaulieu has a bit of something for everyone; an informal, homely mansion built upon the ruins of a medieval abbey, and the world famous National Motor Museum. Beaulieu Palace has intriguingly transformed the 14th century Great Gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey into a comfortable family home beside the River Beaulieu. The major architect of the Victorian Gothic house you see today was Sir Arthur Blomfield, who transformed the earlier medieval building for Lord Henry Scott.
Museum: Beaullieu Abbey was founded by the Cistercian order of monks in 1204, on land granted by King John.Most of the Abbey was destroyed in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but the Domus, once the lay brother's refectory, has been largely preserved, and now houses exhibits that tell the story of the abbey and the daily life of the monks who lived there.
