Netley Abbey village lies in the parish of Hound, to the south-east of Southampton. It developed following the construction of the Royal Victoria military hospital, which opened in 1863. This trail, produced in association with the Hound Local History Society, explores the heritage of the village and its historic links to the hospital.
