On the banks of the Beaulieu River, in the heart of the New Forest, you will find the peaceful haven of Buckler's Hard. Originally called 'Montagu Town' by John, 2nd Duke of Montagu, Buckler's Hard developed as a thriving shipbuilding village where ships for Nelson's fleet at Trafalgar were built. Today, the village continues to thrive, unspoilt by the passage of time. As you stroll along the new Woodland Walk you will discover how the local timber at Buckler's Hard was used in the 18th and 19th centuries to construct ships for the British Navy.
