Site and a priceless national treasure just waiting to be discovered. It’s
a fantastic family day out - and we have 5

Set in 2,100 acres of stunning parkland Blenheim
Palace brings you almost 300 years of history. The Palace is
home to the Marlborough family and was also the birthplace of Sir
Winston Churchill.
The Churchill Connection
Come and see the very room where Winston Churchill was born in 1874
and experience the Churchhill Exhibition - a fascinating collection of
his manuscripts, paintings, personal belongings, books, photographs and
letters, all on display against an audio backdrop of his most famous speeches.
Splendid state rooms
Explore the Palace and enjoy a wonderful display of tapestries, paintings,
sculptures and fine furniture in the gilded state rooms which include the
Red Drawing Room with its magnificent family portraits; the Green Writing
Room where the tapestries depict victory at the Battle of Blenheim; and
the elegant Long Library, built as a picture gallery and now home to 10,000
books.
Park and Gardens
Blenheim Palace boasts “the finest
view in England” - a breathtaking view which is the focal point of
the parkland. The 2,100 acres have something for everyone.
There is even a miniature train which will take you through the park to
the Pleasure Gardens where you can explore the Lavender and Herb Garden
and the Butterfly House with its tropical planting and beautiful species
from around the world. Children will love the large adventure play area,
while young and old alike can take up the challenge of the Marlborough
Maze, have a go at giant chess and draughts or a round of putting.
