Beaulieu — private hire drop-off
About the destination
Beaulieu (SO42 7ZN, in the New Forest) is a 90-acre family attraction combining the National Motor Museum (over 250 vehicles), the historic Palace House and Gardens, the 13th-century Beaulieu Abbey ruins and the World of Top Gear. It is the single biggest paid visitor attraction in the New Forest — allow a full day to see it all.
The journey from Southampton
Just 14 miles / 25–30 minutes from Southampton via the M27 and A326 into the New Forest — a quick, easy drive. We collect from your address (hotel, home or cruise terminal) and drop you at the Beaulieu visitor entrance.
What is included
Private hire transfer in a saloon, estate or 8-seater MPV — the MPV is ideal for families. Door-to-destination drop-off at the Beaulieu entrance. Fuel and all road costs included in the fixed online quote. Beaulieu admission is booked separately by you (a single ticket covers all attractions on the estate).
Cruise passengers & families
Beaulieu is a brilliant short shore-excursion for cruise passengers — only about 30 minutes from the terminals. We collect from Ocean, City, Mayflower, Horizon or QEII, you explore, and we return you in good time to re-board. Families love the 8-seater for the kit and the kids.
