Netley Abbey

Even though Netley Abbey is the most complete Cistercian monastery in Southern England, Henry VIII in 1536 and its owner in 1700, who sold a lot of the stone for building material, conspired to leave not a lot. But pop in for a look (it's free) if you're passing. |next attraction|

The Royal Victoria Country Park is just down the road and a great place for an afternoon in the sun. An eccentric chapel, now a shop, survives from the demolished 19th century Royal Victoria Hospital. The Park also boasts a little narrow gauge railway, woodland walks and great views over Southampton Water. |map|  |more things to do|
