Friends of Clarendon Palace Website

Clarendon Palace was the most westerly major royal, rural

residence in medieval England. It was already well

established in the 1100s, long before Salisbury

was founded in the valley below, during the 1220s.

By around 1500 the palace - but not the deerpark - was abandoned.

Today palace and park, both exceptionally large, can be traced on the ground through earthworks and standing remains, including a major section of the Great Hall eastern wall.
