Honestly you are the best channel for travel/history you make it so informative, interesting as I am usually awe struck after every episode you put out. Thank you so much for all your hard work involved in making these videos for the world to share.

Love everything about the New Forest, and villages like Brockenhurst and Lyndhurst.🦘🐨🦘🐨😷

[@toddbonin6926]

Another thoroughly enjoyable video! You really do bring England to life. I’m putting this site on my must visit list. Fun fact. Where I live in Louisiana, the surname Beaulieu is very prominent, but is pronounced Bo-lyur.

[@Jay-Leigh]

Absolutely gorgeous. Thank you 🙏🏻

Oh how my Dad would have loved the museum. He was a Navy man in ww2. He finished his work life building airplane. Loved seeing how the workers lived. Thank you for this Saturdays lift to my spirits. You two are the best. Hugs and blessings.

[@evelyngrammar]

It was so much fun to see your video in the morning then stumble upon an older video by the American Viscountess on the same spot!

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maureentaphouse5206]

A fascinating tour and history lesson.

[@susanazuccarelli9377]

Precioso video !! 👏👏 Gracias !! Buen fin de semana !! 😊😘

[@SpanishEclectic]

The displays of life during the late 1700s are terrific. Such a fascinating time in history. It still amazes me how rigged wooden ships sailed the world, carrying people and goods, and taking battles at sea to new levels. I've found scanned issues of the London Gazette from the Napoleonic Wars online; they are fascinating! Lists of battles, ship assignments, French or Spanish 'prizes' captured and how much was paid to the officers who captured them. Just like Horatio Hornblower! Perhaps because the town is on Montague land, on a river, rather than at a larger seaport, there are no ships as part of the museum. Our Star of India was built in the shipyards at the Isle of Man in 1863, sailed to India, Australia, New Zealand, and Chile, and was eventually sold into the Salmon trade in Alaska before being purchased and retired to San Diego in 1926 to be turned into a museum. Still seaworthy, she's scheduled to sail this November to celebrate her 160th anniversary. :)

England has such charming villages. I can't wait to come back in September!!!! Thank you🙂

[@lifagrass]

I haven't looked forward to Saturday mornings this much since I was a kid watching cartoons! Every Saturday around 7am I get a notification that you added a new video and I have to stop whatever I'm doing and watch it cuz I just don't want to wait till later!! Thank you for everything you do bring the beauty of Great Britain to those of us around the world (I'm across the pond in Washington state) I'll get there someday, but until then I have these amazing videos to watch and visit virtually ❤

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the lovely comment. So pleased you enjoy watching our travels 😊

[@jenniferwhite1127]

[@ellapun6962]

Very good

[@MemorySeekers]

😊

[@cathybonner9437]

I visited Buckler's Hard a few years ago whilst staying in the New Forest. I love your videos so informative and interesting and will certainly look forward to next week's show. I went to the car museum too, could have stayed there all day so much to see.

[@shaunmckenna1923]

Hello very interesting video 2000 trees to build a ship thats amazing , really looking forward to part 2 as I am a big car chap and I have new been to the car museum there . Thank you great video.

[@MemorySeekers]

Hi Shaun, hope we show you enough as we concentrate on the abbey and house quite a bit. 😊

[@shaunmckenna1923]

@@MemorySeekers Oh I am sure it will be fantastic, hahahaha if not I will just have to send you back .

[@AndreaD.]

Julie Montague, from the American Viscountess channel visited Beauly Priory and her husband’s family there.

[@lorrainerichardson3280]

My great grandfather was a shipwright but from up Newcastle way before emigrating to New Zealand. His father before him also a shipwright. Thanks for taking us to Buckler's Head. The museum looks like you could really make out how they lived in the shipbuilding time. Kind regards as always.

[@MemorySeekers]

So interesting Lorraine a close connection for you. It was a very interesting visit.

[@dougscott3089]

Whilst you are travelling in the South West of England do visit Poundbury, our present King had s lot to do with its inception, it's well worth a walk around its wide streets to view the many different styles of architecture + FREE PARKING (at least there was when I visited in 2010.)

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for the suggestion I have pinned it our map for the next time we are in that area. I was not aware of this village.

[@JoeB_BSc]

Fascinating commentary, we drove to the Satnav point but didn't realise there was a path from the carpark. A voice said something about a park8ng cost, but as we hadn't entered just done a 3-point-turn and it was late pm we missed out on this but spent 2 days enjoying the Beaulieu Estate. Thanks and Regards JB

[@MemorySeekers]

Oh what shame you missed it. Glad you enjoyed the rest of the estate.

[@kennethstuckey7823]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video! It's always nice to see and learn how places began their existence and how earlier residents of said places lived and worked. It was astonishing to see the blatant differentiations in the homes that workers had to live in back then. So very humbling and enlightening. Today, folks would be suing and fighting this one, and that one if they had to live under such circumstances and in such conditions. Those folks of yesteryear appreciated what they could get, when and if they could get it, and worked hard to keep it. Their efforts are admirable.

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. So glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@hifistuded]

Great choice of music

[@MemorySeekers]

Thank you 😊

[@jillwanlin9558]

What a fantastic piece of history! It’s easy to imagine the area a few hundred years ago. It’s still so beautiful today. I can’t wait to see Beaulieu House next week! I ❤MemorySeekers! Thanks again Simon and Will!

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it, the Palace House was wonderful.

[@yougotmeinstitches1847]

Haya. Lovely seeing around & almost have the sense of how living there in those times might have been 🙂Great discovery for those who found the cellar 🙂I have been to the main Beaulieu house a long time ago, be interesting to see any changes. Thanku so much for sharing.

[@cassandraralph5906]

Yet another excellent and very educational video!!! What an interesting history of this particular village. And also an absolutely beautiful place to live and visit. I hugely enjoy your videos. Always something new to learn. Thank you again 💓 💖 💗

[@MemorySeekers]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TXMEDRGR]

What a beautiful and historic village. The museums look to be very educational and the homes seem to be a great chance to experience life at the end of the 18th century. Thanks for showing it to us and I am looking forward to next week's video.

[@sillarsscott7694]

Very interesting

[@cherylrayes8015]

Another really interesting show. The models are a wonderful way of showing what life was like back in the day. Cheers Cheryl 🙂

[@MemorySeekers]

Thanks for watching 😊

[@jimc4731]

Was each residence as large as three floors or was each floor a different residence? Wherever did they get so much wood for so many ships? Good show, keep up the good work! JIM ❤

[@jasoncallow860]

In 2079, the 1000th anniversary of the forest we might need to change the name. It's sort of not very new...

[@MemorySeekers]

Ye olde Forest 😂

[@user-rl8mq9uf7b]

I went in this museum and this young girl told her mum im bored isnt that terrible ?

[@Electricdreams21]

But why is Bucklers hard?

[@MemorySeekers]

Buckler's Hard was possibly originally named after the Buckle family, who had been resident locally since at least 1668. The suffix 'Hard' was added, as is the case elsewhere on the south coast, to signify 'a natural, firm landing place'.

[@bobbybigboyyes]

About 15 years ago there was a real pub in one of those cottages last time I was there. Has it gone ?

[@jenniferwhite1127]

think its at the bottom called Master Builders

[@MemorySeekers]

Yes it’s still there where Henry Adam’s lived is a hotel restaurant and pub.

[@bobbybigboyyes]

@@MemorySeekers That's great thanks! I couldn't see it in your video, that why I wondered. 👍

[@bobbybigboyyes]

@@jenniferwhite1127 Thank you Jennifer! 🥰😘
