Six times winner of the Sandford Award for Heritage Education
‘The breadth and range of opportunities for heritage education at the Beaulieu Estate (of which Buckler’s Hard is part ) is outstanding. Commitment to education is very evident in the provision of facilities and resources and in the skilfully planned, well focused programmes that are offered to schools. Education personnel and Estate staff work to ensure that heritage education on site is linked to the curriculum and is of the highest quality. Students of all ages are ensured a warm welcome; learning is intellectual, challenging, lively and fun. Beaulieu has held the Sandford Award since 1978 and is fully deserving of the honour.’
