Netley Abbey is a picturesque village outside Southampton on the south coast of England. It is flanked on the one side by the ruins of the Netley Abbey itself and on the other by the Royal Victoria country park. Within the park is the chapel hospital which served as an essential part of medical proceedings during World War I. The village runs along the length of the seashore, and looks across to Gosport and Calshot. While large enough to have a railway station, Netley has a community feel. There are two quite good schools linked to each other, imaginatively named Netley Abbey Infant School and Netley Abbey Junior School. Many believe that the best fish and chips for miles around can be found here at the Jolly Friar.
