Buckler’s Hard has three historical phases; a proposed sugar town that failed, a shipbuilding yard initially providing ships for the Royal navy and a base for various things linked to World War Two but especially D Day. Walking from the car park you suddenly come across this beautiful, unmodernised, Georgian street. One side of the road contains an amazing museum of all the activities that have taken place over the last 300 years. It includes some intricate models of sailing ship building here, loads of artefacts and full size waxwork models illustrating life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
