Blenheim Palace

BLENHEIM PALACE

TUESDAY 13TH MAY

 

Spend a day delving into the 300 years of Blenheim Palace’s history. As the home to the 12th Duke of

Marlborough and his family and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim is a UNESCO World

Heritage Site boasting a long and diverse history.

The Palace was built as a gift to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, from Queen Anne and a grateful nation in thanks for his victory at the Battle of Blenheim

on 13th August 1704.

 

During your day at Blenheim, you will have plenty of time to discover the rich history of the Palace through

wandering the Palace State Rooms, the Churchill Exhibition, Stables Exhibition and the formal gardens and

grounds which are vast and very beautiful.

 

Audio guides can be downloaded onto your mobile phone using the QR codes on the boards outside the

castle.

 

Refreshments – There are five different cafes and restaurants from which to choose your morning snack

and lunch – hopefully something for all tastes.

 

Accessibility – Where possible the site is accessible for wheelchair, mobility scooters and buggy users.

There is level access from the main entrance to many areas of the Palace and a lift to the upper floors.

Some areas of the garden have uneven surfaces.
