I personally find the Abbey ruins of Netley more breathtaking than that of other heritage sites I've been to. I love the History, the masonry, and sheer size of this Abbey and Church. Beautiful would be, just one word to describe it. Photos don't really do the place justice. And would say that this place is definitely worth a visit. Let your imagination run wild.

Netley Abbey is much larger than it looks from the road. The scale of the building when constructed must have been so impressive. You can imagine walking around how it might have looked had you been there with the people of the time.

Our afternoon was spent wandering around the stunning and iconic Netley Abbey, located in Netley, next to Southampton, Hampshire. There is an abundance of beauty and history connected with Netley Abbey, which makes for such an interesting visit, and one you would hate to miss out on! The abbey is open all throughout the year and as it is an English heritage site, it is well maintained and free, we recommend to always worth having a look on the EH website to clarify the opening times. We went mid-morning, and for the majority of our visit we were infact the only people there, but soon joined by family’s with their picnics – and when the weather is good, it’s an ideal hotspot for people wanting to relax outdoors or perfect for an explore. Netley Abbey is well sign posted throughout Netley, giving you clear indication where the abbey is and houses a free car park, the spaces do get taken up quickly as it is quite small, but you would have no problems parking around the surrounding area also. The building itself is a ruined gothic medieval monastery, it was founded in 1239 and used primarily for housing monks from the cistercian order. With over 800 years of change the abbey was modified from a monastery into a medieval house and now a romantic ruin.
