Blenheim Palace is famed as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough. Conceived in 1705 by Sir John Vanbrugh, Blenheim Palace is a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. From the vastness of the Great Hall to the intricate detailing in the State Rooms, the Palace interiors beautifully balance the delicate with the awe-inspiring.
Guided tours run throughout most of the season. The State Rooms are graced with priceless portraits, exquisite porcelain and magnificent tapestries.
'Blenheim Palace: The Untold Story' reveals enticing tales from the last 300 years, seen through the eyes of the household.
The splendour and tranquillity of 'Capability' Brown’s landscaped parkland and the Formal Gardens is unrivalled in Britain. From the Secret Garden, Water Terraces and Rose Garden to the Grand Cascade and lake, beauty abounds.
This historical destination is situated in the heart of the Oxfordshire Cotswold and was made a World Heritage site in 1987.
