Just 12 miles from my holiday caravan www.cogb.com/lymington is the village of Beaulieu, named from the french for beautiful place, and it truly lives up to its name. You can see the Tide mill, above left, which is being restored. Visit the 14C Palace house, the Abbey ruins, which date from 1204, and the famous Lord Montague's Motor museum, which houses Donald Cambells Bluebell, a Bond car, and many other famous vehicles. Just 2 miles from here along the Beaulieu river is the unspoilt village of Bucklers Hard. It was here that many of the ships in Lord Nelsons fleet were built from New Forest timber. You can take a river cruise or a woodland walk along the river. Or get refreshments in the Master Builders Public House or Hotel Restuarant. The village houses, above right, date from the 18C and are mostly unchanged. Some are open to the public.
These are just two of the many lovely and interesting places you can visit when you stay in my holiday caravan.
