The Beaulieu River is one of the few privately owned rivers in the world.
The rights were granted to the monks of Beaulieu Abbey by King John in 1204 before later passing to the Montagu family. Custodianship of the river by one family over four centuries has resulted in a largely unspoilt river in terms of its landscape. What better way to experience the river than on a cruise? The 30 minute tranquil journey wends its way along the River with accompanying commentary revealing the history of the Beaulieu River and the abundant wildlife that inhabits its riverbanks.
River Cruises operate between Easter and October and a separate charge is applicable.
