English Heritage and the Clarendon Estate have in recent years been involved with the reclamation and preservation of this site which was once home to Henry II.
The ruins, setting, and wonderful views over Salisbury and the surrounding countryside make this one of the best kept secrets of the whole of Wiltshire and the South according to this BBC article from back in 2005.
The end wall of what was once the Great Hall of the palace.

I used to run to these ruins quite a lot during the summer months and miss not seeing them on a regular basis now I've moved.
My favourite part has to be the wine cellar as I once saw an old black and white photograph of Victorian excavators all lined up within it and on a quiet still day when its just you up there, you can really feel their presence and others before them. Very creepy.
