Blenheim Palace
Blenheim Palace is the stately home of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. It is a unique example of English Baroque architecture.
Inside, the scale of the Palace is beautifully balanced by the intricate detail and delicacy of the carvings, the hand painted ceilings and the amazing porcelain collections, tapestries and paintings displayed in each room. Please note that there is no guiding within the palace rooms but there is an audio guide for this part of the tour.
Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, award-winning formal gardens and the great lake.
