Romsey, Market town in Hampshire, England
The town center features narrow medieval streets with independent shops, while the Norman abbey stands prominently at the marketplace.
Founded in 907, Romsey developed around its Benedictine abbey, which became a center of learning and religious activities in medieval Hampshire.
King John's House exhibits medieval architectural elements, including original timber framing and historical wall inscriptions from the 13th century.
Located 8 miles northwest of Southampton and connected by direct rail services, Romsey offers regular markets in The Cornmarket every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday.
The River Test, flowing through the town, maintains constant water temperature year-round, creating specific conditions for chalk stream fishing.
