Thank you for your question. You can pay for parking up to 24 hours after your visit to Buckler's Hard via the 'Glide' app, which can be downloaded onto your smartphone or tablet. We hope this helps.

Buckley's Hard itself is a small ut historic venue which will take but an hour to see inc the museum (which is a mine of info on shipbuilding and a time when Britannia ruled the waves). If you walk the riverside to Beaulieu and back, and take a boat trip it will add a further2 hours, if you catch the sailing time right, lunch another hour.

Hi Nina, Thank you for your enquiry. Dogs are welcome in the village, provided they are kept on a lead at all times and their owners clean up after them. Dogs are not permitted in any of the buildings, including the Maritime Museum, Captain’s Cabin Tea Rooms or the cottage displays, except for guide dogs. We hope you enjoy your visit. Kind regards, The Buckler's Hard Team

No ferry crossing that I know of; there is a water taxi but it only runs up and down the river dropping off at yacht moorings and going as far as Beaulieu. There is nothing on the other side of the river anyway apart from the forest, and a few trackways. There is no means of crossing the river anywhere.

You can also get on a boat at Hamble. Accesability might be better for people with mobility requirements as the dock is level with no steps! Ofcourse you'll have to get off the boat at Bucklers Hard where there might be some steps as previously suggested!

Hi The tea room was good for a snack when visiting Butlers hard,but perhaps not for a special occasion

The car park isn't that big but spaces are big enough for motor homes with good turning space.

I am sure that dogs will be allowed on the river but not sure about the museum other than guide dogs. We didn't do either as we were already on the river -sailing. I hope this helps? Mic

sorry no idea would recommend you contact the harbour / river master of the beau lieu river
