BEAULIEU

Why go? 

The Cistercian monks who founded an abbey on this spot in the 13th century and named it Beau Lieu (‘beautiful place’) would be pleased to know that the village that grew up around it lives up to the name. Sitting on a bend of the Beaulieu River, on the southern edge of the New Forest, this is a place of gentle charms — not least thanks to the regular appearance of the wild donkeys and horses for which the region is known. The village consists largely of a single main street, with brick-and-timber cottages housing antique, homeware and produce stores.
