Lose yourself in Beaulieu's serene grounds and gardens via the network of footpaths that criss-cross the attraction.
The gardens were originally the grounds of ancient Beaulieu Abbey and later Palace House. They are now carefully managed by Beaulieu's green-fingered team.
Mill Pond Walk
Step off the central pathway to enjoy views across the tidal Beaulieu River from this meandering route. You'll pass ancient oak trees and thick reed beds, both home to a variety of New Forest bird life. Look out for the Rufus Memorial Cairn - commemorating the death of King William Rufus who was killed whilst hunting near Beaulieu in 1100.
Wilderness Garden
Dating back to the 1770s, this garden was established by John, 2nd Duke of Montagu, to complement the alterations he was making to Palace House. Visit in March and April to see the bright masses of snowdrops, crocuses, daffodils and bluebells that carpet the garden and Palace House moat.
Victorian Kitchen Garden
Restored to its 1872 layout, this garden and its century-old vine house still supplies Palace House with seasonal vegetables, fruit and flowers.
Victorian Flower Garden
Herbaceous borders crammed with colourful flowers and a sweet smelling Rose Garden planted with old garden roses.
