Blenheim Palace
Blenheim Palace is set within 2000 acres of beautiful parkland in the Oxfordshire Cotswolds and is a great day out. Blenheim Palace is a large and monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, England. Pronounced Blen-um. It is the only non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title "palace". The Palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1724. It was recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, the exquisite Baroque Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens and the magnificent Lake.
