Beaulieu

Behind the idyllic view of Mill Pond, Palace House stands proud. Once the gatehouse to Beaulieu Abbey, this grand Victorian-gothic country manor has been home to the Montagu family (Beaulieu Estate owners), since 1538. Let its secrets unfold with a guided tour inside, or lose yourself in the surroundings of its colourful and fragrant gardens.
