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.
Southampton is the location of beautiful theaters that offer a great program for those who want to spend time culturally. The best theater venues are Nuffield Southampton Theaters and Mayflower Theater. You should also consider taking a walk along the parks of the city. On the territory of the green zone Southampton Common, in addition to picturesque expanses, you get to see several iconic places: the Douro Memorial, the old Artesian Well, and the hippodrom Old Racecourse. In the southern part of the park is sited the Southampton Old Cemetery, which captivates tourists with its cleanliness and well-groomed nature.
