On the banks of the Beaulieu River, in the heart of the New Forest, you will find the peaceful haven of Buckler's Hard which remains untouched by the passage of time. Once a thriving shipbuilding village where ships for Nelson's fleet at Trafalgar were built, now Buckler's Hard is a tranquil haven, perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of modern life. Amble down the high street to watch the boats sailing by on the Beaulieu River or, if you're feeling more energetic, follow the scenic 2 mile footpath between Buckler’s Hard and Beaulieu.

Eager to learn more about the heritage of Buckler's Hard? For a small admission charge, you can discover the history of the village in the Buckler's Hard  Museum or catch a  river cruise along the Beaulieu River.

A place of serenity and beauty, step aboard for a peaceful 30 minute boat trip along one of the few privately owned rivers in the world.
