Lovely historic place. Tucked away in the village of Southwick. Hampshire. If I hadn't been walking past the entrance I would have missed it as its just an iron gate. Pathway is well maintained and leads you round past two huge ponds where we spotted a heron, onto the ruins itself. Only one wall is standing but it's well preserved. There was also a sign which says you can now do a circular walk around the golf course so one to try next time. Also a bonus is seeing the red wood tree so that must have been planted when the monks were there. So if anyone wants to visit the old priory ruins, head into southwick village and follow road heading towards southwick golf course. Park in d day memorial hall car park. Head back across the road and look for the iron gate which will take you to the ruin wall..
A little struggle to find it but if you park in the carpark behind the Gold Lion pub which is free. Head back out of the carpark & there is a small gate opposite. New fencing & gate put up inside. Not much to see just a wall but if you like history worth a visit.
Absolutely no signage leaving up to the site, just one sign the other side of a gate, so you might struggle to find it. Very little to see, just one wall, bit it is a lovely walk through the trees to get to it.
Sat nav took me into an old guys garden. He gave me a confused dirty look, which I don't blame him. We then walked around for an hour, trying to find 'the ruins' and could see a lot of old dears doing the same. After a lot of asking, we finally discovered a wall right by a golf course. Monty, the golfer shouted over to us to watch our heads as his mate cuthbert is a terrible golfer and could well take our heads off. I shouted back hey old boy where are the ruins to which he replied that's it the wall. I said your taking the piss. We walked back to the car, wondering if there is a truly worse attraction in the world.
Didn't visit southwick priory ,I was fishing at the lake there
