Clarendon Palace, Medieval castle ruins in Clarendon Park, England

The remains of Clarendon Palace spread across 5 acres, featuring stone walls and foundations surrounding a central courtyard near Salisbury.

During the 12th century, King Henry II established the Constitutions of Clarendon at this palace, limiting the power of ecclesiastical courts.

Archaeological excavations between 1933 and 1980 uncovered numerous artifacts that reveal daily life patterns of medieval English royalty.

Visitors can access the ruins through designated pathways in Clarendon Park, located 4 kilometers east of Salisbury in Wiltshire.

The palace witnessed King Henry VI's descent into mental illness in 1453, marking the beginning of its gradual decline from royal residence.
