Beaulieu Abbey is a Cistercian monastery founded in 1204 by King John in the New Forest, Hampshire. The abbey was established as a daughter house of Cîteaux and became one of the wealthiest and most influential Cistercian communities in medieval England, with extensive landholdings across the south. The substantial ruins that survive include the refectory, parts of the cloister ranges, and the gatehouse, which demonstrate the scale and architectural quality of the establishment. The site was dissolved in 1538 during the English Reformation, after which the buildings were adapted for domestic use, contributing to their partial survival.
