Tree years ago, me, my husband and our little one on his way, were visiting some historical places in our neighbourhood. I love ruins and I took the opportunity to capture this beautiful place and add the nice shots to my archive.
Standing close to Southampton Water, Netley Abbey is the most complete surviving Cistercian monastery in southern England. After the Suppression of the Monasteries the buildings were converted into a mansion for Sir William Paulet. The ruins now reflect over 800 years of change, during which the abbey was transformed from a monastic house to a mansion house, and later to a romantic ruin.
