Hiking
Romsey Abbey is the largest parish church in Hampshire, and well worth a visit to admire the Norman architecture. The nave was built in the 12th and 13th century and consists of large Norman piers.
Originally, the abbey was a nunnery, setup in the 10th century.
Highlights include 2 saxon roods, a 16th century reredos and a tomb of King Charle's great uncle (Lord Mountbatten of Burma).
There is no charge for admissions and open daily for visitors.

Romsey Abbey dates from c970. The Abbey ist a beautiful Norman Church. It survived the monastic dissolution thanks to the faith and foresight of four "Guardians" of the Abbey who petitioned Henry VIII and bought the church for 100 Pound.
