The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Southampton, England
Southwest of London is Southampton (Soton to the locals), a metropolitan area centered around the port. However, tucked away on the side streets are ancient gems such as the Tudor House, Mottisfont Abbey, and "God's House," a museum located in a tower in the medieval wall. The ultra-modern Sea City Museum celebrates Southampton's seafaring past and the RMS Titanic. Looking for nightlife? Travelers can dance the hours away with bars, clubs, and live music, all accessible by public transportation.

There is far more to this than just a ‘common’, with a large playground and three lakes. Easy to walk with well laid out paths.

How lucky we are that the Council has protected this open space . Best time to walk is early in the morning before the less-careful folks are about. (Covid care)

I left a poor review before but today we had such a lovely time. The staff were so friendly; and helped me with my little boy who had an accident (our fault not play shacks!) and the staff member who helped us with him was wonderful. The hot drinks we ordered were great too. The place was clean and tidy. My son loves play shack so wanted to give a good review. We’d also been last week during half term and the staff were brilliant then too even though it was heaving!
