An entrance into the grounds of the historic Romsey Abbey will close for maintenance.
The Jubilee Gate entrance to the south garth of the Abbey will be closed for one week from Tuesday, April 7 to allow for path improvement work.
The closure is necessary to enable the safe re-laying of the path, which has become uneven due to wear and tree root movement beneath the stones.
Pamela Leech, chair of the Abbey’s fabric committee, said: "The Abbey South Garth is very popular for those who want a quiet place to sit and enjoy the beauty of the Abbey grounds.
"We want to ensure that everyone can use the Garth safely and that means maintenance to stop parts of the path becoming a trip hazard.
"We are sorry for any inconvenience and hope that the work will be completed within a week."
While the Jubilee Gate will be closed, the rest of the South Garth will remain open to the public.
Alternative gates at the east end from Church Place and the west end near the Abbey Church Rooms will be accessible throughout the works.
