Welcome to Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace and formal gardens are now closed for the winter and will re-open on 13th February 2010. The Park is open daily for walks.

Blenheim Palace is home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

Set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the magnificent Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, award-winning formal gardens and the great Lake, offering a unforgettable day out for all.

Blenheim Palace 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. On the first floor 'Blenheim Palace: The Untold Story' brings to life enticing tales from the last 300 years.

Situated in Woodstock, just 8 miles from Oxford, the Palace was created a World Heritage site in 1987.

We look forward to welcoming you to Britain’s Greatest Palace very soon.
