Beaulieu Palace House

Julie explores the historic home of Lord Montagu of Beaulieu. In 1952, Beaulieu was one of the first historic houses in Britain to open its doors to the public – and with the family passion for the motor car at it’s heart, interest soon grew and the National Motor Museum was born. Today the collection includes 285 vehicles and thousands of objects relating to the history of motoring. Julie visits the workshops of the museum and peaks under the bonnet of one of the cars that launched the museum, a 1903 De Dion Bouton.
