WELCOME TO BUCKLER'S HARD
Buckler's Hard is a picturesque 18th century village on the banks of the Beaulieu River in the
heart of the New Forest. Historically, it is famed as the place where some of the ships of
Nelson's fleet were built, but whether your interest is as a visitor - as an
individual, family, group or educational party - or as a sailor wishing to moor in the River,
the things to see and enjoy are as varied as the history of the area itself.
There is the Buckler's Hard Story and cottage displays to be seen. Visitors can stay in the
village at the Master Builders House Hotel, or you can just enjoy the natural beauty
of this historic village and soak up the atmosphere as the local ducks waddle past. A river
cruise or a walk through the woodlands nearby can only add to your pleasure. Check our events
page for information about our regular special events.
Buckler's Hard is a little over two miles from its sister attraction of Beaulieu, where
visitors can tour the National Motor Museum as well as Palace House and Beaulieu Abbey.
