For such a small village there is so much to see and do in Hythe. Its seafront location surrounded by open forest has attracted some famous faces over the years, including T E Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia) and inventor of the hovercraft, Sir Christopher Cockerell.

Pop into the bustling marina development with its bevvy of restaurants, shops and bars, the perfect spot to spend time watching enormous cruise ships and laden cargo vessels frequent Southampton docks, or take a stroll along Hythe’s Georgian high street.

Your Hythe holiday claim to fame can include a trip on the electric train which runs a colossal 640 metres, winning Hythe Pier a Guinness World Record as the oldest working pier train in the world! 

There’s a great street market on Tuesdays selling local produce, fresh flowers, jewellery and more, and you can hop on the half hourly ferry for a day’s shopping in the mighty retail park of Southampton’s West Quay.

If you’d rather get in touch with Mother Nature, The Solent Way walking route passes through the village of Hythe, and there are countless woodland ambles and circular pub walks to explore. Nearby Lepe Country Park offers beautiful coastal walks, bike rides and nature trails.

Being so close to the water, Hythe is a great base if you’d like to try your hand at water sports, either on The Solent or Beaulieu River.

A great day out for all the family. We spent all day here and would visit again.

August 2017

Incredible place, well worth a visit (especially if you have a car-mad kid or two!). Really good day out- we did ours the same day as one of their Special days (Alfa day) which was good.

December 2017

A good day out - even if you do not like cars! Our grandson particularly enjoyed the museum and the 'Top Gear' attraction. The remains of the Abbey are worth seeing and one can dress up as a monk! Our favourite attraction was the demonstration of falconry - absolutely fascinating and we learnt a great deal about the birds and the history of falconry.

August 2018

Such a great day out! Museum is facinating and interactive. Combined with the beautiful Palace House this is a must do attraction.

September 2018

Fantastic day out for any car enthusiasts

April 2019

Lots to see and do if visiting all the attractions here.A very good day out.

October 2020

A great place to visit for all ages, with the older ones enjoying nostalgic memories of past motoring! It is a good venue if the weather is bad and well worth the entrance fee.

September 2021

Rey interesting but we thought the museum was past its best and needs some investment

October 2021

A very nice day out. Everyone enjoyed it even those who are not so interested in cars.

April 2022

Outstanding, very interesting, and staff were friendly and made visitors welcome

May 2022

An enjoyable way to spend a day (or more!) lots to see, as well as the motors the gardens are beautiful, we found the wartime spy exhibition really interesting and surprising! Arrows to steer round the main exhibition much appreciated- it's a bit of a maze! Top marks to the staff - everyone was friendly, helpful, informative and welcoming, made the visit extra special.

June 2022

Having been to the excellent Motor Museum several times before, we decided to upgrade our annual pass and visit the sculpture exhibition which is on until September. We can thoroughly recommend this extra attraction, we are not usually into culture but the variety of topics and designs was fascinating and very enjoyable, recommended. The cafe is also very good.

June 2023

Fabulous day out. It’s not cheap to visit but we really enjoyed. May not be suitable for young families. Only downside was that we went for lunch at the cafe and they had stopped serving hot food at 2.30pm and all the sandwiches /wraps had gone. Only cakes left !

September 2023

Enjoyed a day out at Beaulieu, reasonably quite as out of school holidays and we were able to take advantage of the monorail, the bus and easy access to the exhibitions. Also took a walk around the Mill Pond walk which gave a fabulous view of the Pond at Beaulieu and over to the bridge. We also took advantage of the free return to revisit the main exhibition on a very wet day enabling the motor fan more time to read all the information .

Very enjoyable and interesting house.

August 2017

Enjoyed. Staff very friendly

May 2018

Excellent value.lots to do here,could easily spend the whole day if visiting all the attractions at this venue.

October 2020

Interesting visit but expensive. The children’s play area was excellent.

November 2020

This was great! We spent the entire day there from when it opened at 10am until it closed at 6pm. There was so much to see and learn, the children loved the monorail and vintage bus rides and the play area was one of the best we have been to (and we have been to a lot!). The best bit however were the two talks given by the Palace House falconer about his birds and what they do. It was so informative and amazing - the bloke needs a payrise!

August 2021

Very much worth visiting

October 2021

Really interesting; very welcoming- a lovely place to visit

April 2017

Recommend the Archery course - was fun for all the family. We also hired bikes for the day and cycled the woods. Very helpful staff.

September 2021

The instructor was very knowledgeable of the area and local flora and fauna and we had a great time on the river. We would definitely return.

WE thoroughly enjoyed kayaking down the river near Beaulieu. Very well organised and safe company, offering tours or just two hour hire so you can go at your own pace.
