Much of the original structure has been preserved including the Rockery and a Wishing Well. e garden is now known for its mature camellias, magnolias, rhododendrons, owering cherries and dri s of spring bulbs. What makes it unique is its position overlooking the Solent. It was an embarkation point for D-Day and the “lighthouse” in the garden now marks the entrance to the Beaulieu River. e Mediterranean planting along the coastal walk is completely di erent from the woodland areas. It’s a large garden but some people spend most of their time having tea on the terrace, seeing if they can spot the seals in the Beaulieu River.
