Blenheim Palace , home
to the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir
Winston Churchill, offers a memorable day out.
Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown,
the exquisite Baroque Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens
and the magnificent Lake.
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. On the first floor 'Blenheim
Palace: The Untold Story' brings to life enticing tales from the last
300 years.
Within the Palace, you can see the State Rooms filled with examples of
superb craftsmanship and treasures collected over the last 300 years.
The beauty and tranquility of `Capability’ Brown’s landscaped parkland,
created in the 1760's and the Formal Gardens, created more recently, are
unrivalled anywhere in Britain.
The Pleasure Gardens welcome young visitors and families and has special
activities throughout the season. With delicious food and beautiful gifts
available, Blenheim Palace is Britain’s Greatest Palace.
