Beaulieu is an award winning family day out with one ticket granting access to countless attractions:
With over 250 vehicles in its collection, the National Motor Museum tells the story of motoring on the roads and circuits of Britain, from pioneering origins to the present day. From the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons, displays include land speed record holders, motorcycles, a rustic 1930’s country garage and Wheels – a fascinating pod ride through motoring history.
World of Top Gear recreates the feel of the Top Gear Studio. See unique behind the scenes footage from Top Gear HQ and cars from the show’s most ambitious challenges.
Home to the Montagu family since 1538, Palace House is a Victorian styled country house. Costumed guides will give you a flavour of life `below stairs` and share with you the history of the house and the generations who have lived there. Explore the grounds, which feature Victorian flower and kitchen gardens.
Founded in 1204, the once vast Beaulieu Abbey was largely destroyed during the Reformation. In one of the surviving buildings, you’ll see an exhibition on the history of the Abbey and the monks that lived and worked here.
Ride the Monorail for informative commentary and sweeping views of the park, and in the Secret Army Exhibition the truth behind Beaulieu’s covert wartime role is revealed…
With much more besides, Beaulieu is open daily from 10am (except Christmas day).
