User FAQs

The park is the most complete surviving Cistercian monastery in southern England, with almost all the walls of its 13th-century church still standing, along with many monastic buildings.

There are steps and uneven surfaces throughout the ruins, but wheelchair access is possible for most of the site. There are no toilets on site but there are shops and places to eat in the nearby village. Limited car parking is available at the site, with further parking at a nearby recreation ground.

Climbing on the ruins is prohibited and barbeques are not allowed. Drone flying is not permitted without proper permissions. Visitors should also be cautious of ticks that may spread Lyme disease and should stick to clearly defined paths.

Visitors can take a trip to Southampton to visit a Medieval Merchant's House, or drive to Portchester Castle to enjoy a picnic in its grounds. Titchfield Abbey, a 13th-century Premonstratensian Abbey, is also worth a visit on the way between Netley and Portchester.

Visitors have described the park as beautiful, well-preserved, and free to enter. Some have enjoyed exploring the ruins and reading information boards, while others have appreciated the dog-friendly environment and nice walks around the area.
