East Boldre is a linear village and civil parish situated near Lymington, Hampshire, England.

This earlier name reflected the fact that the settlement had grown up along the wooden railings defining the western boundary of the manor and parish of Beaulieu.

In 1914, one of the sheds on the airfield was taken over by the Royal Flying Corps, and by 1915, the demand for pilots for World War I resulted in a training school called RFC Beaulieu being built.

[9] On 24 October 1917, the village post office at East Boldre was accidentally damaged by a British aeroplane, and for six months, the elderly inhabitants had to live under tarpaulins in the house even whilst transacting postal business.

After the war, the Airborne Forces Experimental Establishment (AFEE) came to RAF Beaulieu and used the former airfield as a parachute dropping zone until September 1950.
