Netley Abbey, or rather, its romantic ruins, also deserves a mention. From what pertained to the abbey, only the priceless manuscript is preserved, which is kept today in the British Library in London. It is a copy of the thirteenth-century work “Chronica” by Roger Hovenden, a historian of the times of Henry II and Richard I. There are many beautiful farms in the vicinity of Southampton that would fascinate anyone with their pastoral atmosphere and detachment from the noise of megalopolises. You should definitely visit such places as Manor Farm, Oasis Down to Earth Farm, as well as Sunnydale Farm and Longdown Activity Farm.
Another tourist attraction of the city is the Bursledon Windmill, which was built in 1814, replacing the mill of 1766. She worked until the 1880s, after which she gradually fell into disrepair. However, the terrace roof installed on the decking prevented the equipment from deteriorating. Today, the structure has been restored to working condition, which gives travelers the opportunity to see how flour was previously made. Southampton also houses buildings erected in the 21st century. Among them are The Ageas Bowl and St. Mary’s Stadium, which were built in 2001. The former stadium is designed for cricket and the latter for footballers. Both stadiums have played host to large-scale games of the season more than once, and during your stay in the city, you should definitely keep track of the billboard for upcoming events.
