The Solent Way

Part of 'The Solent Way' runs alongside the Beaulieu River between Beaulieu and Bucklers Hard.

Superb riverside walk between the picturesque village of Beaulieu and the historic shipbuilder's hamlet of Buckler's Hard. The walk is suitable for pushchairs and there are great views of the river through the oak trees that come down to the water's edge. The walk follows part of the Solent Way long distance footpath and passes through a National Nature Reserve which has boardwalks and a bird hide where you can view the wildlife.
