   The 800-Year-Old Haunted Abbey Where Monks Never Left

   Beaulieu is currently home to the National Motor Museum, but it also attracts visitors to the estate to check out Palace House, a gorgeous stately home, as well as the ruins of Beaulieu Abbey, which dates back to 1204.And with a history stretching as far back as that, it seems that it may not just be cars and history you experience… Because for decades, witnesses have encountered strange, unexplainable things, mainly around the abbey ruins themselves, but also in Palace House. There are ghost stories, legends, mysteries and a potential treasure hunt to get your head around, too…SOURCES📚 Marie-Françoise Alamichel. Magna Carta in Chronicles of Medieval Britain.
