The first naval vessel built on the Beaulieu River (called Salisbury) was launched in 1698, and is thought to have been built here at Bailey's Hard. You will also notice a brick building here with a tall chimney - this is the old estate brickworks, built in 1790: it made bricks, tiles and pipes.

There is an information board provided here, and the views on the riverside are spellbinding, particularly at sunrise and sunset!
