The natural haven where the New Forest meets the Solent

Welcome to the Beaulieu River & Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour

Peaceful and sheltered, the Beaulieu River offers tranquillity and picturesque displays of natural beauty. Its undeveloped banks play host to an exceptional variety of flora and fauna, where woodland gives way to tidal saltmarsh.

Marking the south eastern edge of the Beaulieu Estate, the river is one of the few privately owned estuaries in the world. Four centuries of custodianship by the forebears of Lord Montagu have ensured the number of moorings has been carefully controlled.

Mike Nicholls and I go back rather further than either of us would like to admit. Mike leads a real team, not the sort of ‘team’ we all meet at every turn in so-called ‘customer care’ elsewhere. This is a genuine group of like-minded professionals working to serve the river and its users.

Last summer, I was slipping my lines for a three-month cruise when I realised that in my hurry I’d forgotten to take my hard dinghy home. I didn’t want it left at the dock getting in everyone’s way, so what to do?

‘No problem,’ said my old friend Andy, the assistant habourmaster. ‘I’ll sort it and it’ll be here when you come up the river.’ No whipping out an order book to bang me for storage in the water plus extra for pumping dry. Just a concern for solving my difficulty.

This way of thinking reminded me of one winter in the 1980s which was so cold the upper river froze over. My vintage wooden pilot cutter Hirta lay on the piles off Buckler’s Hard and I was living in Yorkshire when ice floes started

threatening her ancient planking. When I arrived the next day I was sweating with concern, but I needn’t have worried. There’d been no question of a shrug and a ‘Not my problem, Mate!’ The buck hadn’t been passed from marina to river to boatyard to harbourmaster and back again. Instead, the ‘one-stop shop’ river staff organised a set of ice boards, suspended them carefully from the bulwarks to take the ice damage, and saved my boat from harm. Needless to say, there was no charge for that either. ‘All part of looking after your yacht, Tom.’

Perhaps the most remarkable example of concern for the customers’ boats in the Beaulieu River also involved Hirta. At the time, she was sharing the piles off the village with Jolie Brise, the big French pilot boat which

There’s much about Beaulieu that’s special for the sailor, but what makes it unique is that the whole river - moorings, bird sanctuary, anchorage, marina, the lot - is run by one harbourmaster and his staff.

turned Ocean Racer in the 1920s to win the first Fastnet Race. Between them, the two elderly ladies displaced 85 tons, and a noble sight they made. One winter’s night on a spring ebb, their combined weight proved too much for the metal horse on the upstream pile. It carried away and off they went under the moon on what could have been a messy and expensive bid for freedom. No-one saw them go, but they were found in the morning, still secured to one another, safely lying to Hirta’s 112lb fisherman anchor on a sensible scope of half-inch chain. Hirta’s windlass would have been a technical mystery to the average passer-by and the ground tackle was too heavy for most folk to manhandle. I’d had no part in the affair. Neither had the skipper of Jolie Brise. The harbour staff were all silent and the harbourmaster himself swore he had nothing to do with it. In my experience, some old boats have a spirit that looks after them in times of special peril. In this case there were two boats and maybe two phantoms, but it took the Beaulieu River to bring them out when they were needed most.

Beaulieu is not the sort of waterway you will enter every day. Even the ghosts are on your side.

Beaulieu Village contains a variety of unique shops, including a delicatessen, an art gallery, tea rooms, a garden centre, hairdresser and New Forest Activities Centre.

The 2¼ mile footpath between Buckler’s Hard and Beaulieu passes through the heart of the Beaulieu Estate and forms part of the Solent Way.

The gradual transition from woodland through tidal river-edge grassland into saltmarsh is rare in England and supports a wide range of plant and bird species, particularly wintering waders and wildfowl.

1 Curtle Meadows It was here that scenes for the film A Man for All Seasons were shot in 1966, as the unspoilt river looked as the Thames might have done in the 16th century.

2 Bailey’s Hard The tall red brick chimney is that of the old estate brickworks which drew on the local deposits of clay. Built in 1790, it last produced bricks in 1935 and is now a private residence. It was here that Salisbury, the first naval vessel to be built on the river, was completed in 1698.

3 Riverside Walk This alternative route gives closer views over the river, all of which is a designated National Nature Reserve. The flat area you see is known as a ‘salting’. Grass species such as Spartina have helped to stabilise the mud banks over time. The path passes some small creeks notable for plumed reeds, especially the Yellow Flag Iris in summer. Also look for Sea Lavender, Cord Grass and Sea Purslane.

4 Burnt Oak Copse The trees here are predominantly Oak dating from the early 19th century. Later these were supplemented by Wild Service, Hazel, Scots Pine and Beech with Common Privet, Butcher’s Broom, Holly and Hawthorn, pro viding shelter and food for game birds. Note the stunted tree growth at the river’s edge, caused by poor drainage and the salt water from the river.

5 Keeping Marsh An open expanse of various salt tolerant plants. This mud bank is the holding area for dredgings from the river but is quickly being colonised by indigenous plant and animal life, notably Shellduck, Canada Geese, Mallard, Oystercatchers, Redshank and Curlew.

7 Duke’s Bath Cottage This small thatched cottage was built by George, Duke of Montagu, c1760 for his son who suffered from arthritis. Salt water was considered beneficial for sufferers of arthritis so a pond in the garden was filled with river water, in which people could bathe.

4 Gins This was where the monks of Beaulieu Abbey kept their fishing boats and trading ships. It was a convenient place to load and unload without having to navigate the narrower channel upstream. The name ‘Gins’ is thought to derive from ‘ingenium’, a lifting or winding mechanism used to move the load. Today, Gins is a base for the Royal Southampton Yacht Club. An oil pipeline from Wytch Farm near Poole to Fawley Oil Refinery passes under the river at this point.

5 Sea Banks The land behind these banks was reclaimed in the 18th century and used for salt production. Salt was a highly prized commodity and Salt Officers were based in Buckler’s Hard to check that the quantity of salt produced tallied with the amount of tax paid. 200 years later, the banks remain intact, but they do not hold out the highest tides, and the meadows behind are periodically flooded. This provides waterfowl, particularly Brent Geese and Wigeon, with feeding areas in autumn and winter.

The lower reaches of the Beaulieu River are best seen from the water as they are not served by a footpath.

1 Gilbury Pier connecting to the Exbury Estate.

2 Mulberry Dock This is the site of the old oyster beds created in

the 1870s. During the Second World War, an experimental floating dock was built here,

together with components for the Mulberry Harbour, used in the D-Day landings. Today, oysters are again being bred on the river, where the water is pure enough for a licence to be granted.

3 Fiddler’s Reach In the 18th century, this was an

anchoring point for the hulls of newly launched ships en route

for Portsmouth. The grass that covers the mudflats

along the river is called Spartina Townsendii. This first appeared on the river in the 1870s to help bind the mud flats, thus reducing erosion. A second variety, Spartina Anglicana, was introduced in 1898.

9 Millennium Beacon This miniature lighthouse serves as a day mark and contains a sectored light for guiding boats into the river at night. Its construction was kindly funded by many of the yachtsmen who use these waters.

The lands bordering the river contain an exceptional variety of habitats which support an equally varied assemblage of wildlife. To protect important colonies of nesting seabirds, Gull Island and Warren Shore are closed to the public; however, access to other parts of the Reserve is possible by permit, issued by the Beaulieu Estate Office.

6 Needs Ore Coastguard Cottages Built in the 1860s for the Coastguard, who were at the forefront of the fight against smuggling, as well as defence and rescue. Officers were moved around from station to station to prevent them becoming established in the local community and susceptible to bribery and collusion. The Needs Ore Station closed in 1922 but the cottages continue to be occupied by tenants of the estate.

7 Needs Ore Point This was where Charles Bull created his ‘Bull’s Run’ in 1726-27 as a shortcut into the river from the Solent. It was closed by a Special Act of Parliament in 1986 to protect Gull Island from erosion. Needs Ore is the base of the Beaulieu River Sailing Club whose dinghy races take place in this part of the river.

8 Gull Island This is actually a spit and owes its name to the Black-Headed Gulls which used to nest here.

The first batch of students from the main school at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard will arrive in July. They will be studying and working in the replica 18th century workshop where they will learn period shipbuilding techniques and arboriculture, using timber from the Beaulieu Estate.

The students will be undertaking a 47 week course in Portsmouth, which will include lifting, backbone contraction, carvel, strip and clinker planking, stem bending, laminating, fitting out, deck structure, caulking, stopping and more.

At Buckler’s Hard they will be learning how to work with and handle large sections of timber, using pit saws, side axes, adzes, auger bits and similar period tools, once commonly used here.

It is hoped that this will be the first of many courses at Buckler’s Hard in all things related to traditional boatbuilding and we aim to build up the infrastructure to facilitate this. Planned additions

include a new saw-pit, two large capstans, a large A-frame for lifting timber and a timber trolley - all to be made from Beaulieu wood.

Please drop by and see the students work and if you are interested in a course or supporting the educational charity please visit ibtcportsmouth.co.uk or call 023 9289 3323

Just two miles upstream from Buckler’s Hard Yacht Harbour is the New Forest village of Beaulieu, the family seat of Lord Montagu and the location of the world famous visitor attraction he founded.

Beaulieu offers an exceptional day out, with one ticket granting access to a number of attractions.

With over 250 vehicles in its collection, the National Motor Museum tells the story of motoring on the roads and circuits of Britain from pioneering origins to the present day. From the earliest motor carriages to classic family saloons, displays include historic sporting motors, motorcycles, modern rally cars, F1 racers, a rustic 1930’s country garage and Wheels – a fascinating pod ride through motoring history. New additions for 2015 include two new galleries telling the exciting story of British motorsport.

World of Top Gear recreates the feel of the Top Gear studio with a unique video presentation shot behind the scenes at Top Gear HQ. This is complimented by a tongue-in-cheek display of the cars used in the ambitious challenges and stunts seen on our screens. On Screen Cars presents an ever changing display of vehicles made famous in film and television.

Explore Palace House and gardens to discover the history of the Victorian styled

country home and its former residents. Once the Great Gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey, Palace House remains home to Lord Montagu having been in his family’s ownership since 1538.

The Secret Army Exhibition reveals the story behind Beaulieu’s covert wartime role as a ‘finishing school’ for secret agents. Visitors can also ride the high level Monorail which circles the site and offers informative commentary and sweeping views of the park.

The tranquil ruins of Beaulieu Abbey show the scale of this once bustling complex. Founded on land gifted by King John to Cistercian monks in 1204, Beaulieu Abbey was largely destroyed during the Reformation. One of the surviving buildings houses an exhibition on the history of the Abbey and the monks that lived and worked here.

Beaulieu also hosts a number of events, including the annual Autojumbles and Boatjumble.

Bird Life & The Beaulieu River

The river and its environs form part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which offers habitat for many resident and migrant wildfowl and waders – some 200 species in all.

Large flocks of dark-bellied brent geese arrive in the autumn from Northern Russia to join the feral Canada geese. Amongst them, scarcer geese such as the black brant from North America and the red-breasted goose from North Eastern Russia have been found.

Waders, including common redshank, oystercatcher and curlew are easy to see on the banks of the river. Winter flocks of lapwing and golden plover populate the fields, and black-tailed godwits congregate along the shore. On the brackish and fresh water pools, a few greenshanks and spotted redshank from Fenno-Scandinavia have become regular, with some even choosing to winter here.

In the spring, many of the winter visitors return to Iceland, Scandinavia and Russia to breed. However, good numbers of the lapwing stay to nest, performing their twisting, tumbling displays over the fields alongside the river. In recent years a breeding colony of avocets has established and the colony has become one of the largest in Southern England.

Little egrets and grey herons are common and small flocks of spoonbills are frequent visitors on passage in spring and autumn. Always present, but harder to spot, kingfishers perch quietly on posts or boats. The dead trees scattered along the lower parts of the estuary are

When on the Beaulieu River, it is difficult to imagine that one is in the heavily populated South of England.

worth checking in August and September, because one or two ospreys often stop off on migration. They roost in the trees and then float over the river, searching for grey mullet, sea trout or flounder to catch. The ospreys move between wintering sites in West Africa and nest sites in Scotland, but it is hoped that they will soon return to breed here beside the Beaulieu River.

Kestrel, sparrowhawk and buzzard are the common resident raptors and, in recent years peregrines have become well established. Goshawk can sometimes also be seen over the woodlands, whilst in winter the fast and diminutive merlin hunts the creaks for small waders such as dunlin and ringed plover, or over the grassland, looking for pipits and skylarks. A feature of recent winters has been the marsh harrier. This long-winged bird of prey is a delight to watch, as it glides low over the fields and marshes, head down in an owl-like flight.

There are secretive birds too; tawny owl, barn owl and little owl all occur along various parts of the river, and they are occasionally visible in the mornings and evenings. In winter, the short-eared owl is a scarce visitor from Scandinavia and, if present, it can be seen hunting over the fields and hedgerows in broad daylight.

There are woodcock in the woods, which rode (display) at dusk from March until July. One or two males frequently

criss-cross the river whilst moving between various blocks of woodland in their search for females. Another crepuscular species is the nightjar, a few of which nest close to the river. The nightingale can be heard both at night and during the day at one or

two favoured spots of willow scrub. This migrant species is now scarce in Hampshire, but there remain a few breeding territories here, and their song can be heard from the middle of April through to early June.

Other summer migrants include 10 species of warbler, some of which can almost match the nightingale in the beauty of their song. Along the estuary, 3 species of tern arrive from Africa to join the resident black-headed gulls. The little tern lives up to its name and it has a yellow bill, the common tern is indeed the most often seen and it has a red bill, the Sandwich tern is the largest with a black bill. A small number of Mediterranean gulls can be found, and in the 1960s the nesting colony at Gull Island, at the mouth of the river, became famous for being the first site in the UK to host a breeding pair.

The Beaulieu Estate’s bird reserve at Needs Ore is a good place to see many of the birds mentioned. Permits to visit the reserve can be purchased from the Beaulieu Estate Office.

Step through the doors of a worker’s cottage as you go back in time to the 18th century to find out about the home life of the villagers and their families in historic cottage displays. One building, once the village school, is now a chapel which still holds regular services. Recent excavations of its cellar have suggested that the building may have been used by smugglers.

The Captain’s Cabin Tearooms, an ideal location for a cream tea, offers a wide range of refreshments, all day snacks and light lunches.

Originally named ‘Montagu Town’ by John, 2nd Duke of Montagu, Buckler’s Hard developed into a hive of shipbuilding activity in the late 1700s. With New Forest oak on the doorstep, it was ideally situated for such a task. The cottages that line the unusually wide street – where logs and planks were once piled - housed tradesmen and labourers.

Shipbuilding here went into decline shortly after the Napoleonic wars, but the village has remained unspoilt by the passage of time. In the Maritime Museum you will discover the fascinating story of the village, its residents and the ships they built, including Nelson’s favourite warship HMS Agamemnon. Listen in to conversations between villagers of the past in the 18th century New Inn and follow the stories of the 19th and 20th century residents in an exhibition about village life.

Buckler’s Hard Village

At the heart of the Beaulieu River is Buckler’s Hard, an 18th century village where ships were once built for Nelson’s navy.
