Best known for being the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace was built in the early 1700’s and is the main residence for the Duke of Marlborough.
Today the palace, the park and the gardens are open to visitors and, for very good reason, it is one of the most popular Cotswold tourist attractions.
Set a whole day aside, bring a picnic and make sure you leave having taken it all in, as there is so much to see and so many interesting facts to learn.
The gift shop at Blenheim Palace.. we’re tempted to call it “The Mother of all Gift Shops”, so fabulous is it! It takes the concept of the traditional gift shop and brings it forward into something that is just so much more. Wonderful products that celebrate the history of the country as well as Blenheim Palace, mixed with products that accentuate all things British and all things country style.
Created in 1908 by combining the original Ashmolean Museum and the Oxford University Art Collection, The Ashmolean is an internationally acclaimed gallery in this country for being a world-class museum of archaeology and art.
