Southampton Attractions
Bursledon Brickworks Industrial Museum
We are the only remaining steam driven brickworks in the UK - see how brick making made the leap from small scale production to 20 million bricks a year.
The fully restored and working machinery helped us to win the coveted Institute of Mechanical Engineering Heritage Award in 2011 and on Open Days we can show it all running as it was when it produced bricks.
On site you can see the patented method adopted to dry the bricks and the huge kiln block that was used to fire them ready for collection. The museum has other clay based collections on site and lots of opportunities on offer which makes a visit both enjoyable and educational. We can include activities for all ages, one of the most popular being the chance to make a brick or chimney to take home.
We share our site with two partner organisations, Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Trust and the South Hampshire Steam and Historic Engineering Society who add to the attractions on Open Days and special visits. There are two railway tracks and steam traction engines offering rides.
Group visits are also always welcome, whether for the industrial history and engineering, or to photograph and draw the buildings and machinery.
We have a new regular feature with Ghost Hunters who have been exploring the paranormal aspects of the site with great interest and success.
If you are a school, society or simply want a good day out why not come along and see us our Open Days can be found on our website.
The museum is open from April to November, every Thursday, from 10am until 4pm. Entrance fee: Adults £3, concessions £2, accompanied child £1
Open days run from 10am until 4pm. Admission charges: Adult £5, concessions £4, accompanied child £2. Family (2 adults + 2 children) £12
Beaulieu
Beaulieu is home of the National Motor Museum, the historic Palace House and Beaulieu Abbey. Beaulieu Abbey was founded in 1204, when King John made a gift of land to the Cistercian Monks. Although much of the Abbey was destroyed during the reign of Henry VIII some significant buildings have survived. Whether your interest is as a private individual, group or part of an educational visit, these ruins give an insight to the life of a monastic order in the 13th century.
National Motor Museum
From small beginnings in 1952, when Lord Montagu of Beaulieu first displayed a handful of veteran cars in the ancestral home, Palace House, the collection has grown to 250 vehicles as well as memorabilia and displays. At every turn you'll find something to fascinate you. From some of the earliest examples of motoring in the 1890's, to the famous Model T, and legendary World Record Breakers like Bluebird and Golden Arrow. From 'film star' cars and touring limousines, from Formula 1 racers, sports cars to family cars from the 30's, 40's and 50's. You'll even see motoring oddities such as a giant orange on wheels.
Palace House
Formerly the Great Gatehouse of Beaulieu Abbey, Palace House has been home to the Montagu family since 1538, and is one of the Treasure Houses of England. Today, whether your interest is as a private individual, group or part of an educational visit, you can still see the monastic origins of the building and talk to Victorian characters from the House as you explore the rooms and gardens of Britain's most visited Stately Home.
New Forest Activities
New Forest Activities run a range of activities for all the family on Beaulieu Estate in the heart of the New Forest.
Specialising in canoeing and kayaking and providing land based events such as bush-craft, rope courses, archery and cycling, Liquid Logistics and Earth Events cater for all the family.
Situated at Bucklers Hard, the kayaking activities are guided by experienced instructors who will help you grasp the basics and learn new skills at your own pace. Kayaks are stable single-man craft which will allow you to explore some of the hidden sights of the river.
Capable of carrying two adults and ideal for families, canoes are a fantastic way to explore the nature reserve of Beaulieu River. These run from Baileys Hard further up the river.
Or, if you're more a fan of dry land we have a whole range of activities for you to try and enjoy.
Enjoy a more adventurous holiday to the New Forest or make it a stag/hen party to remember. Contact us or visit our website to pre-book your activities now!
All equipment is provided. Please contact us to discuss the nature and cost of the session that would best suit you.
