An unforgettable weekend in Netley: a trip to a seaside town with ruins

Netley in Hampshire is one of the most interesting seaside towns in the UK. It was here that the famous writer Jane Austen got inspiration for her novel Northanger Abbey, and today the British from all over the country come here to take a break from the city bustle and enjoy nature.

What exactly is worth seeing in Netley and why does the city attract visitors from all over the country? Surrey Live told us about it.

In Netley, travelers can visit the Royal Victoria Country Park, which has a fantastic garden, playgrounds, and a miniature railroad. In addition, those who go here will definitely find cruises that go on a journey. You can see them from a secluded pebble beach located next to the park.

One of the main historical monuments in the city is Netley Abbey. These are the ruins of a medieval monastery that was destroyed during King Henry VIII's crusade against Catholics during his campaign to create the Anglican Church. Also, the attention of tourists is drawn to the 1856 building, which in the past was used as a military hospital. Today, only a chapel remains of the once huge hospital.

After walking and exploring Netley's historical sites, tourists can visit the wonderful Woodies At The Barn wine bar, which serves delicious dishes, such as pizza or roast.
