Sir Winston Churchill took his first breath here at Blenheim Palace in 1874, which is reason enough to add it to your 'sites from English history' checklist.

Visit Blenheim Palace and wander the gilded state rooms and view the portraits, furniture, sculpture and tapestries. You can even picnic in the gardens.

Included with your palace, park and gardens ticket is access to a range of events, seasonal trails, and family activities throughout the year.

Highlights include the Jousting tournament, food festival, flower show, half-term activities, exhibitions, and access to over 300 years of history inside the palace, parkland, and formal gardens.

You can also visit the Blueprints of Power exhibition, which explores the ideas, people, and decisions behind the palace's design and construction.

If you've ever dreamed of roaming and relaxing around a beautiful home in the country, grab some Blenheim Palace tickets and make that dream come true!

Home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough and his family, the extravagant and storied Blenheim Palace is a stand-out attraction in Oxfordshire - and the English country manor of your dreams.

Picture yourself at important occasions in the State Rooms. Ponder the price of so-called priceless art collections and count the historical books that line the walls of the Long Library.

Outside, there are 2,000 acres of landscaped parkland and Formal Gardens to run around or laze about in. Check out the majestic Water Terraces, the Duke's Private Italian Garden and a peaceful Secret Garden.
