About

Netley is a residential area positioned on the eastern bank of the River Itchen, directly opposite the Woolston district of Southampton. The locality is largely defined by its proximity to the water, with housing extending from the shoreline up the gentle incline inland. A significant portion of the area is occupied by the extensive grounds of the Royal Victoria Country Park.

The park itself is the site of the former Royal Victoria Military Hospital, and the substantial red-brick chapel still stands as a central landmark. The long, wooded shoreline here provides a public space for walking, with views across the river to the container terminals and city beyond.
