And it’s no wonder that it has a hefty price tag thanks to being close to Lymington and the stunning New Forest.
Another thing you can enjoy in Beaulieu is the British National Motor Museum. Established in 1952, the museum is dedicated to John Montagu who proposed to parliament about abolishing a 12-mph speed limit.
Another top attraction at the New Forest village was the Beaulieu Jazz Festival. During the 1950s it was one of the UK’s first attempts at a music festival.
Beaulieu was followed by areas Fishbourne on the Isle of Wight and Abbotsbury in Dorset to complete the top three.
