Beaulieu Motor Museum
Housing a collection of over 250 cars and motorbikes, the museum tells the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day.
Cars Galore
The unique collection of cars at the world-renowned National Motor Museum at Beaulieu is hard to beat. When it comes to cars, motorbikes, commercial vehicles, motoring eccentricities and memorabilia, the National Motor Museum has something to fascinate everyone.
Palace House
The motor museum is located within the grounds of Beaulieu’s beautiful Palace House, on the banks of the peaceful Beaulieu River. Here you’ll come face to face with the ‘Victorian’ staff and find out what really went on behind the scenes of a great country house. Its unique collection of treasures, portraits, and mementoes has been lovingly curated by generations of the family, including the present Lord and Lady Montagu. The gardens are both formal and informal and include a fragrant Herb Garden and Mill Pond walk.
Beaulieu Abbey
Also within the grounds is the historic Beaulieu Abbey, founded in 1204 by Cistercian monks on land given to them by King John. Although much was destroyed at the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of Henry VIII, there is still much for visitors to see today.
Monorail
The National Motor Museum Monorail was opened in 1974. The total length is approximately 1 mile (1.6km).
Rides run at frequent intervals throughout the day (weather permitting).
Please note: Boarding the monorail requires climbing stairs to the platform and some may need to crouch to get in.
Please visit the Museum website or telephone 01590 612345 for more information.
