A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Blenheim Palace is home to the 12th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Set in over 2,000 acres of beautiful Parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the exquisite 18th century Baroque Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens and the magnificent lake.
Boasting over 300 years of history and heritage, Britain’s Greatest Palace is a unique example of English Baroque architecture.

It houses some of the finest antique collections in Europe.
