Buckler's Hard, which is located close to the Beaulieu River on the eastern part of the New Forest in Hampshire. It can be found a couple of miles south of Beaulieu, and it is also part of the 9,000-acre Beaulieu estate. At the start of the 18th century, it was simply a landing place on the Beaulieu River, but the 2nd Duke of Montagu had plans for it. He wanted to build a free port named 'Montagu Town', which would be used as a hub for the import and export of sugar from the West Indies. However, this didn't come to pass due to the French capturing the islands, and it was instead reborn as a shipbuilding village named Buckler's Hard. Using the trees of the New Forest, it built more than 50 wooden ships for the Royal Navy, including the vessels Agamemnon, Euryalus and Swiftsure. Buckler's Hard became a destination for day trippers in the late 19th century, as the development of the steam pleasure yacht meant people were exploring the Beaulieu River. During the Second World War, the area became a motor torpedo base and, further downstream, sections of the Mulberry harbours were constructed in the old oyster beds in preparation for the D-Day landings.One of the main attractions in the area is the Buckler's Hard Museum, which shares details about the village's history and the ships it built.
