Woking Palace moated site, fishponds and ruins at Oldhall Copse
Woking Palace moated site, fishponds and ruins at Oldhall Copse, Medieval archaeological site with moats and fishponds in Old Woking, England
The Woking Palace site encompasses extensive ruins, including remnants of Tudor-era structures, water-filled moats, and multiple historical fishponds within Oldhall Copse woodland.
The palace grounds transformed from a 13th-century manor into a grand royal residence during Henry VII's reign, serving as a retreat for English monarchs until its abandonment.
Archaeological excavations at Woking Palace reveal details about medieval English architecture, water management systems, and the daily routines of royal court members.
Visitors can access the ruins through designated public paths, though certain areas remain restricted to protect ongoing archaeological research and preservation efforts.
The site combines medieval water management features with preserved fishponds, demonstrating sophisticated engineering methods used for maintaining fresh fish supplies.
