Beaulieu Abbey! Founded in 1203/4 by the Cistercian Order, on land gifted by King John. Local legend tells us that King John gifted the land to the monks after a nightmarish dream that he was beaten by a group of Cistercians and woke up still feeling the bruises…more on that and where truth meets legend another time! For now…figures, smells, sights have all been reported here. It’s allegedly one of the most haunted sites in The New Forest…and it’s one of my favourite to visit! Thanks @beaulieu_u
