Located here are the remains of a medieval palace built by Henry II in the 12th century. The palace was a favourite residence amongst British monarchs and was known for its beautiful gardens and for being the site where the Constitutions of Clarendon were issued in 1164.

The palace was destroyed during the English Civil War in the 17th century, but its ruins can still be visited today
