Really beautiful grounds ! Dog friendly outside of the palace . The palace interior was beautiful, but only one floor to walk in. The Ai weiwei exhibition was random & out of place in its surroundings.

If you are traveling to Oxford or the Cotswolds you owe it to yourself to visit Blenheim Palace. The home of the Duke of Marlboro is one of the grandest homes in England not belonging to the Queen.

Gordon Payne

Come in through the Woodstock gate for a breathtaking and unique view of the house and grounds - £25 seems a lot but it's great value

Kirsty Allen

Don't miss the cafe , the cakes are delicious. Especially the carrot cake . They also do soy milk and gluten free cakes .

JNET

Stunning estate and grounds . Don't just enjoy the palace . Venture out to the fountains and walk about to the various gardens .

The lakes of Blenheim Palace were used for a brief scene in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) in which Harry looks into Prof. Snape's memories and sees him being bullied by James Potter

It's a spectacular house and the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Marlborough. If you are anywhere nearby you must visit.

Gardens , exhibitions , walks and jousting. Afternoon tea time was very enjoyable, too.

Allison Kasic

They filmed the Buckingham Palace scenes here for The Young Victoria.

Michael Natale

Stroll all parts of the grounds or catch a concert event . Awesome place

Mark Garner

Public footpaths run through the grounds , use these to access the grounds for free. They charge a fortune if you pay at the gate.

Karen Zlw

Amazing! You have to spend the hole day in here to see everything in this wonderful place.

John Murdoch

Amazing place. The maze is great. Guided tour worth going on. Food in restaurant good.

Neil Anstice

Use one of the various 'public gates' around the perimeter for FREE access to the grounds . ;)

Finders Keepers

Set in 2100 acres of parkland, the exquisite palace is surrounded by gardens & the magnificent Lake . Inside, visitors can see hand-painted ceilings & porcelain collections, tapestries and paintings .

Cla Cla

Beautiful palace and gardens .

Adam Jennings

Lovely place - don't be put off by the overly officious staff - it's still well worth a visit.

Courtenay Bird

Stunning home and property. Don't miss Churchill's velvet pajamas and slippers tucked partly behind a door in his exhibit .

Roost Online

10k (ish) run loop from Bladon Gate, around the lake , up to behind the monument and back. Great for a sunny July evening.

Bev

Discounted entrance fee if staying at Bladon Chains Caravan Site

Beware the coated dragon who shouts at you about taking pictures. Share the love Blenheim

Sightseeing!

Cynthia Gonzalez Tricoche

Loved the Mediterranean Garden !

Stuart C

Big house in the country

Viacheslav Kharitonov

Красивый дворец . Но не очень понятно куда идти. При входе если не пойти сначала налево то не попадёте на второй этаж . А там тоже интересно.

Maria Claudia

Es hermoso, el mejor lugar para hacer picnic , se puede ir en bus desde oxford (S3)

Евгений Сосницкий

Роскошнейший дворец . Великолепный сад .

Alan x el mundo
