The name Beaulieu comes etymologically from French beau lieu, which means "beautiful place". It is derived from Beaulieu Abbey which was populated by 30 monks sent from the abbey of Cîteaux in France, the mother house of the Cistercian order. The medieval Latin name of the monastery was Bellus Locus Regis ("The beautiful place of the king"') or monasterium Belli loci Regis.
During the Second World War, the Beaulieu Estate of Lord Montagu in the New Forest area was the site of group B finishing schools for agents operated by the Special Operations Executive (SOE) between 1941 and 1945. (One of the trainers was Kim Philby who was later found to be part of a spy ring passing information to the Soviets). In 2005, a special exhibition was installed at the Beaulieu Estate, with a video showing photographs from that era as well as voice recordings of former SOE trainers and agents.
The village has remained largely unspoilt by progress, and is a favourite tourist stop for visitors to the New Forest, and also for birdwatchers 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.
The village was rated as among the "20 most beautiful villages in the UK and Ireland" by Condé Nast Traveler in 2020

I took this photo slightly out of focus in the hope it may look like a painting. Basically I was messing around with my Canon DSLR camera. Beaulieu River & Beaulieu Village on a beautiful winters day in the New Forest National Park, Hampshire in England,
This large pond at the village of Beaulieu in the New Forest, Hampshire, was created by blocking the River Beaulieu just short of its access to the sea. Until it ceased operation in 1942, a tide mill (left centre) was powered by the pond that today still fills and empties twice a day with the tides.

The monastery at Beaulieu was founded in 1204 by King John, and its Abbey Church dedicated to St. Mary in 1246. Most of the Abbey fell into ruins after the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII, but domus, cloisters and refectory remain.
I went through Beaulieu for a meeting in Hamble the other day and managed to catch some early morning reflections from the lake there.
