Clarendon Palace Ruins

On the outskirts of Salisbury within the medieval deer park of Clarendon Estate sits the ruins of the former royal residence, Clarendon Palace.

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.
