Dan Snow said: “From the Second World War to medieval history and 18th-century shipbuilding, Buckler’s Hard is a truly remarkable place of layered history.” Before the outbreak of war, the Beaulieu River was a quiet, working waterway. However, once requisitioned for naval use, it became part of a much larger and largely hidden wartime operation. Activity intensi ed dramatically, with vessels moving constantly along the river, shore facilities rapidly adapted, and land across the estate repurposed to support Britain’s war e ort. e threat of invasion reshaped daily life in the e exhibition also highlights the area’s contribution to the Mulberry Harbour project, with elements constructed locally, and the transformation of Buckler’s Hard’s historic shipyard, which pivoted from its traditional role to wartime production - building essential naval vessels. Beaulieu River at War has been curated by local historian Marc Heighway alongside Mary MontaguScott. is free exhibition is open every day 10am - 4pm in e Shipyard Gallery until October. Historian Dan Snow officially opening Buckler’s Hard’s new exhibition area. Beaulieu village became part of a wider defensive network, with measures introduced to slow and disrupt any potential enemy advance. As preparations for D-Day gathered momentum, the estate took on increasingly vital roles. Training exercises escalated, secrecy tightened, and the river became a testing ground for innovative military techniques and equipment linked to the Allied invasion of Europe.
