Some of the ruins are fenced off but still able to walk around most of it

A nice section of the Monarch Way including going across Roughay farm here where there is an airfield.

This atmospheric moated Bishop's Palace is a scheduled ancient monument and a Grade II* listed building, with some parts dating back to the 12th century. Free entry, open weekends only.

Once a grand residence, this Grade II-listed palace is well worth exploring. Lying in the heart of the Hampshire town of Bishop's Waltham, the palace was first constructed in the 12th century, with many additions added in later centuries. In the 14th century, the palace was taken over by William of Wykeham, the Bishop of Winchester and Chancellor of England. He had the tower built, the great hall rebuilt and other extensions constructed. In the 17th century, the palace was severely damaged in the Civil War, with much of its materials scavenged for other construction work. Today, the site is managed by English Heritage and is free to explore.

Not ideal surface for road bikes, but passable.

Small nature reserve with benches. Nice place to stop if you need a break, but surrounded by reasonably busy roads, and no amenities on site.

Great location for the biking birders

Better for a walk I'd think, popular running and dog walking territory for locals. Would be very boggy this time of year. Shame it doesn't continue all the way down to Botley station, that would be great to avoid the busy a-road
