Ruined medieval bishop's palace beside the River Itchen, offering textured stone arches, crumbling walls and strong lines that contrast with nearby Winchester Cathedral and river reflections. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm side-light and long shadows; weekday mornings avoid most tourists. Site access can vary—check opening times; city centre parking and public transport nearby. Small grounds are compact and wheelchair paths are limited in places.
