Lamphy Bishop's Palace has 1 rating.
Lamphey Bishop's Palace, located in Lamphey, Wales, offers visitors a glimpse into medieval Welsh history. This partially ruined palace, once a retreat for powerful medieval bishops, showcases impressive architecture from the 13th and 14th centuries. Visitors appreciate the well-preserved great hall, chapel, and remaining towers, which give a sense of the palace's former grandeur. The site's peaceful rural setting adds to its appeal, allowing for pleasant walks around the grounds. However, some visitors note that the information provided on-site could be more comprehensive, and the lack of furnished rooms may disappoint those expecting a more immersive experience. The palace is generally considered a good stop for history enthusiasts and those interested in Welsh heritage, but may not offer enough to occupy visitors for an extended period. The site's maintenance and accessibility receive positive feedback, though some visitors suggest bringing a guidebook for a more informative visit. While not as extensive as some other historical sites in Wales, Lamphey Bishop's Palace provides a quiet, atmospheric experience for those interested in medieval architecture and church history.
