Blenheim from afar

Our picnic overlooking the Palace
A few days ago, my dad and I spent the day at Blenheim Palace. Blenheim is located in Woodstock, just a short bus ride away from Oxford. The home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough, Blenheim is a privately owned palace. It was originally a gift from Queen Anne to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. And yes, this is also where Winston Churchill was born. It's quite a place!
Blenheim Palace has many spectacular grounds and gardens, and we spent the day exploring them. My favorite was the Rose Garden, as it smelled absolutely heavenly. However, due to the extent and size of this estate there are so many areas we had to leave unexplored. I hope to return soon!
