The small picturesque
village of Beaulieu is made up of many listed buildings ranging
from the 16th to the early 20th century. The village is situated
on the eastern side of the Beaulieu river and has a selection
of small shops, the Montagu Arms Hotel and Beaulieu
Garage specialising
in classic and vintage cars.
At the bottom of the High street in the Old Manor house is Beaulieu
Fine Arts, an art gallery with five rooms
of paintings.
New Forest Activities, who specialise
in running outdoor activities, mostly in the Beaulieu area, now
have a booking office in the village.
Located at the top of the High Street (since
1961) is Fairweather’s
Garden Centre. The shop is housed in
a 400 year old listed building.
Patrick’s Patch (across the road
from the Garden Centre) is a one-acre community garden, it
is open every day, including weekends from 10am until 4pm
and is free to enter. During free weekend drop-in sessions,
adults and children can now learn how to grow plants, fruit
and vegetables with expert advice from experienced professionals.

There is an excellent
