• Day 4: New Forest, Beaulieu Palace and Motor Museum

  Today is the day for exploring the quaint hamlets of the New Forest. First stop is the ancient village of Beaulieu on the banks of the peaceful river and best known for its 14th century Palace House, home to the Montagu family - we have included entrance to the Palace and the Motor Museum with its unique collection of James Bond cars, Formula 1 cars and now the World of Top Gear, a collection of the cars that were battered and modified by the BBC’s team and gathered up and displayed in homage to the world’s biggest car show.

  Enjoy the atmosphere at Lymington. Discover the history and heritage of the New Forest at the Museum in Lyndhurst – don’t miss the grave of the original Alice in Wonderland in the churchyard, and at Brockenhurst meet the descendants of ponies and donkeys given complete freedom to roam by William the Conqueror in 1079 and still wandering free.
