But I have visited that area and there is, in the New Forest, a town called "Bewley" but ... and here's the trick ... that's the phonetic pronunciation the way the English say it. The actual spelling of the town's name is Beaulieu. My french education say that's pronounced more like Bow-Leeuh. So I am just warning that a slight mispelling of a phonetically written name and you'd never look in some Index for Beaulieu!
