Blenheim Palace


Had a good day out at Blenheim Palace yesterday, it's not far from us so it's easy to pop to and enjoy a walk. We all have annual passes which helps, all you need to do is pay once for a Palace, Park & Gardens ticket (adult £18, child £10) and then you can convert it in one of the on-site booths to a 12 month pass, which is much better value than £18 for one day out!

The architecture of the Palace is stunning, everywhere you look there's another amazing piece of detail that you haven't noticed before.



 The gardens are stunning, all very well manicured and the grounds are extensive, we wanted to do the walk to the cascades, which was quite a trek for our 4 year old, especially as she was hungry for the picnic and all the benches we came to were taken!  We made it eventually though!






We finished off down at the pleasure gardens, with a walk round the butterfly house and of course some time in the playground!
A tiring but happy day with fresh air and family!
