Activities
Next to Southampton water are the ruins of the impressive Netley Abbey, which was founded by Cistercian monks in 1239 and is now a lovely place to visit. Henry VIII seized the abbey in 1536 and gifted it to a rich politician who converted the buildings into a mansion. Many years later some parts of the buildings were demolished, but the abbey ruins remain. They inspired many people during the Romantic movement, including Jane Austen; Netley Abbey is said to be the inspiration behind her Northanger Abbey.
Royal Victoria Country Park is found on the opposite side of the village from the abbey and it makes for a great day out. This site was originally home to Netley Royal Victoria Military hospital, which was built in 1856 and treated thousands of injured soldiers during the world wars. Today there’s a museum depicting these origins, and the rest of the land is now used as parkland for visitors to enjoy. There are plenty of walking routes to be found in the woodlands and by the water, and lots of events to make the most of throughout the year. There’s a play area, fairy garden, duck pond, laser tag, and the Royal Victoria Railway, which gives you a tour of the park.
