The obvious place to go is of course the common, but that just feels a bit… well, samey. Don’t get me wrong, Southampton Common is great. It’s rare to have such a big area of green space right on a university’s doorstep and when you’re there, it’s really easy to escape city life. Riverside Park is a great place to go for some waterside views. 5km10kmHighfield Campus:Some of the city’s best green space is actually right under our nose.
