Beaulieu (pronounced BYOO-lee) is a small village located on the south eastern edge of the New Forest national park in Hampshire, England.
Palace House, which overlooks the village from across Beaulieu River, began life in 1204 as the gatehouse to Beaulieu Abbey, and has been the ancestral home of the Montagu family since 1538, when it was purchased from the crown following the disolution of the monastries by Henry VIII. The house was extended in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century, and is today a fine example of a gothic country house. Although still home to the current Lord and Lady Montagu, parts of the house and gardens are open daily to the public.
The village is also home to the British National Motor Museum. The museum, which first opened as the Montagu Motor Museum in 1952, and which became a charitable trust in 1972, contains one of the world's finest and most important collections of historic motor vehicles, including four world land speed record holders: Sir Malcolm Campbell's 1924 Blue-Bird and son Donald Campbell's 1964 Bluebird CN7, plus the 1927 1000hp Sunbeam (the first motor car to break 200 miles per hour) and the 1929 Irving-Napier Special 'Golden Arrow', both driven by Major Henry Segrave.
The hamlet of Bucklers Hard, situated on Beaulieu river and part of the 9000 acre (36 km²) Beaulieu Estate was the birthplace of many British naval vessels, including many of Admiral Nelson's fleet, and today houses a small maritime museum, plus a modern yachting marina.
Beaulieu village has remained largely unspoilt by progress, and is a favourite tourist stop for visitors to the New Forest, and also for birders seeking local specialities like Dartford Warbler, Honey Buzzard and Hobby. The nearest railway station is Beaulieu Road, which is located several miles away on the London-Weymouth main line.

Palace Of Beaulieu
The Palace of Beaulieu was located in Essex, UK, north of Chelmsford.
The original lands were granted to the Canons of Waltham Abbey
1062. After various changes of possession it was granted by the crown to the Earl of Ormond in 1491.
In 1517 Beaulieu was sold to Henry VIII of England by Thomas Boleyn and given the name Palace of Beaulieu - having previously been known as Walkfares.
On July 23 1527 Henry's court arrived at Beaulieu on his summer progress, staying, unusually, for over a month. In the company of the a large number of nobles and their wives, including Anne Boleyn's father Viscount Rochford, viscount Fitzwalter, the earls of Oxford, Essex and Rutland, the marquess of Exeter and the dukes of Norfolk and Suffolk, it was here that Henry devised a scheme to allow him to cohabit with the intended successor of Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, by obtaining a Papal bull to allow him to commit bigamy. This plan was dropped when Cardinal Wolsey discovered the plan, though the pope did, in fact, issue a bull to the same effect that December.
In October 1533 the daughter of Catherine of Aragon Mary, who had been staying at Beaulieu for some time, was evicted as the palace had recently been granted to Lord Rochford (Anne's brother).
1573 saw Beaulieu given to the 3rd Earl of Sussex by Queen Elizabeth I of England, and in 1622 it was sold to George Villiers 1st Duke of Buckingham for £30 000.
As a result of the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell took possession of the estate for the sum of five shillings in 1640. After reverting to the 2nd Duke of Buckingham it was sold to George Monck, 1st Duke of Albermarle, and the court of Charles II of England were frequently entertained there.
Benjamin Hoare acquired the property in 1713, but it was in a poor state when purchased by Olmius 1st Lord Waltham in 1737, who demolished and rebuilt much of the palace.
The estate was finally acquired by the English nuns of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in 1798

Below Beaulieu the tidal river continues to flow through the forest, passing the village of Bucklers Hard and entering the sea through the Solent.
