Ruined Walls at the Bishop's Palace Once one of the finest residences in the country, belonging to the extremely wealthy Bishops of Winchester, the palace was in ruins by the end of the English civil war. Much of the stone was taken for use elsewhere and the surviving ruins became part of a farmyard until bequeathed to the Ministry of Works, now English Heritage.

In the Pond, Bishop's Waltham Part of the North Pond, one of the old medieval fishponds which supplied the nearby Bishop's Palace. The weed on the branches shows that there should be a fair depth of water here but in this year's drought the only water is down at the other end of the pond. Up this end is quite dry and a healthy growth of something or other has quickly colonised the exposed mud.
