Walks in the Park at Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace is set in over 2,000 acres of 'Capability' Brown landscaped parkland. Walks in the Park allow you to fully appreciate the beauty of the Palace within its awe-inspiring setting. There are breathtaking views from Vanbrugh's Grand Bridge across the magnificent lake and rolling landscape.

The Park provides beautiful views of the lake, which places Vanbrugh’s Bridge in harmony with its surroundings. The wonderful curves of the banks around the lake contrast beautifully with the border of majestic sycamores, beautiful maples, strong oaks and elegant chestnuts.

The Park was landscaped in the 1760's by 'Capability' Brown, and is hailed as one of his greatest achievements. All 2,100 acres of rolling landscape bring together the features Blenheim Palace has to offer.

So, round up your family and friends and enjoy a memorable walk at Britain's Greatest Palace.
