To the East of Beaulieu River is Exbury, a rural and serene 19th Century hamlet next to the famous Exbury Gardens, a world famous 200-acre estate open to the public. The gardens are known for their collections of stunning flowers through the spring, summer and autumn – particularly Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camellias and Magnolias.
Exbury has a large Water Tower (used to irrigate the gardens) which dominates the skyline and many of the pretty houses, cottages and church were originally built for workers on the estate, though most are now privately owned. On your doorstep are two other local attractions: The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu and Buckler's Hard Maritime Museum.
Exbury is surrounded by fields and woodland for walks and cycling. You’re just over a mile away from the shoreline and Lepe beach, which has wonderful views of the Solent across to the Isle of Wight.
Shops can be found in the next village called Blackfield, which is about 2 miles away. It’s here that you’ll find your nearest eatery - The Langley Tavern, which is a great little pub with a large beer garden serving good food. Head down Summer Lane on the road towards Beaulieu, and you’ll find the Royal Oak pub - for superb food, events calendar, summer beer garden and winter log fire. You can also head down to the coast and pop into the Beach Café at Lepe for delicious lunch, afternoon tea or just a drink. More shops and eateries can be found in the neighbouring villages.
