Beaulieu Abbey was founded in 1204 by Cistercian monks on land given to them by King John. Although much was destroyed at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII, there is still much for visitors to see today. Walk through the serene Cloisters and Herb Garden of this picturesque 13th century Abbey and view a film and an exhibition of the daily life of its Cistercian Monk founders.
WallhangingsUpstairs in the Abbey’s Domus, impressive Wall Hangings depict scenes from the history of the Abbey. Designed and created by Belinda, Lady Montagu using various forms of appliqué, patchwork, quilting, and both machine and hand embroidery on a heavy calico base.

GhostsBeaulieu is reputed to be one of Britain's most haunted places and ghosts have been seen, heard and sensed here for over a hundred years. Listen for the sounds of chanting and Brother Augustus's footsteps and smell the fragrance of incense when there is none burning.
