Bucklers Hard Village

Bucklers Hard Village: On the banks of the Beaulieu River you will find the peaceful haven of Buckler’s Hard. Originally called ‘Montagu Town’, Buckler’s Hard developed as a thriving shipbuilding village where ships for Nelson’s fleet at Trafalgar were built. The Maritime Museum reveals the story of this unique village, bringing to life the characters that lived here at the time of Henry Adams, the Master Shipbuilder at Buckler’s Hard between 1744 and 1805. The Beaulieu River was believed to be a major landing point for smuggled goods from the late 18th century with the cottage that is now the Chapel of St Mary’s a centre of operations. Stroll along the pathways beside the Beaulieu River or join the River Cruise which transports you on a tranquil journey along the River.
