Exbury Gardens: Lionel Nathan de Rothschild was the man whose inspiration created Exbury gardens.

Rhinefield Ornamental Drive: Not far from Daisybank Cottage you will find this stunning walkway. Rhinefield Ornamental Drive is a very narrow road lined with a mixture of large rhododendrons, azaleas and very tall trees, making it feel almost celestial.

Buckler's Hard, The Maritime Museum: This 18th century maritime village sits on the western bank of the Beaulieu River.

The museum contains great models and paintings of the ships built there.
