Beaulieu is a small village located on the south eastern edge of the New Forest national park in Hampshire, England, and home to both Palace House and the British National Motor Museum. == History == The picturesque hamlet of Bucklers Hard, with its Georgian cottages running down to the Beaulieu river is part of the Beaulieu Estate. It was the "birthplace" of many British naval vessels, including many of Admiral Nelson's fleet, using the timber of the New Forest. (Ref: Ships Of British Oak - A J Holland 1971.) The industry declined in the 19th-century and today the hamlet is given over to tourism, with a small maritime museum, and a modern yachting marina. Bucklers Hard was where Sir Francis Chichester began and finished his single-handed voyage around the world in ''Gipsy Moth IV''. Beaulieu village has remained largely unspoilt by progress, and is a favourite tourist stop for visitors to the New Forest, and also for birders seeking local specialities like Dartford warbler, European honey buzzard and hobby. Palace House was featured in the 2005 comedy-drama film ''Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont'' starring Joan Plowright and Rupert Friend. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beaulieu, Hampshire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
