Outing to Blenheim Palace and Gardens, Thursday 11 June

Heralded as Britain’s greatest Palace, Blenheim Palace offers a wealth of attractions including the opulent UNESCO World Heritage state rooms—birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Daily guided tours offer deeper insight into the palace’s history and special exhibitions on the Churchill family.

Outside you can wander through Italianate Water Terraces, the intimate Rose Garden, the Churchill Memorial Garden or the tranquil Secret Garden. The more adventurous can enjoy scenic walks throughout the vast landscaped parkland designed by ‘Capability’ Brown. To plan your day visit the Palace website.
