Description:

Set in the Oxfordshire Cotswold’s, Blenheim Palace, home of the Duke of Marlborough, is considered to be one of the finest baroque houses in the country. Sir Winston Churchill was born in the Palace in 1874 and a permanent exhibition about him is located next to his birth room within the main Palace tour to compliment the superb collection of tapestries, paintings, porcelain and furniture in the magnificent State Rooms. ‘The Untold Story’–300 years of exciting tales, is a new major hi-tech tour open within the Palace.

Surrounding the Palace are over 2,000 acres of beautiful ‘Capability Brown’ parkland, lakes, fountains and formal gardens. A miniature train connects the Palace to the Pleasure Gardens, where, amongst a range of fun activities for children, can be found the Marlborough Maze, the Butterfly House, the Lavender Garden and ‘Blenheim Bygones’ exhibition.
