The Bishops Palace is situated within the walled perimeter of the cathedral precincts.
The surviving buildings date from the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and were the work of Bishop Thomas Bek (1280-93) and Bishop Henry de Gower (1328-47).
The Vaulted under crofts are spectacular as is the arcaded parapet which is one of the glories of the site and has been much copied in various castles like Swansea.
