Netley

Netley, sometimes called Netley Abbey, is a village on the south coast of Hampshire, in the UK, situated close to the city of Southampton. It is flanked on the one side by the ruins of Netley Abbey and on the other by the Royal Victoria Country Park, which is the site of the old Netley Hospital; built after the Crimean War, and used extensively from 1863 through to World War II.

The village runs along the length of the seashore, and looks across to Hythe and Calshot. While large enough to have a railway station, Netley has a community feel. There are two schools linked to each other, imaginatively named Netley Abbey Infant School and Netley Abbey Junior School.
