South coast of England -3

After making our way through the New Forest we went to a place called "Buckler's Hard", a unique 18th century village where warships for Nelson's Navy were built.

On the banks of the Beaulieu River, in the heart of the New Forest National Park, you will find the peaceful haven of Buckler’s Hard.

The new and exciting Maritime Museum and Buckler’s Hard Story give an insight into the history of this 18th century shipbuilding village focusing on its vessels including those built for Nelson's Navy.
Take a trip on the river or a walk beside the riverbank for an opportunity to see some of the abundant wildlife that inhabits its banks. Visit the Apple Orchard where apples are picked to make Beaulieu Apple Juice. Enjoy a refreshing glass in the Captain's Cabin Tea Room.
Buckler's Hard is located in the New Forest within easy reach of the popular tourist destinations of Bournemouth, Southampton and Winchester.

This is also a popular baoting area, coming up the Beaulieu River from the sea.
