The current Home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, Blenheim Palace is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and a World Heritage Site.

Originally, Blenheim Palace was gifted from Queen Anne to the 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. 

The palace is situated in Woodstock, Cotswolds, which is about 8 miles from Oxford, Blenheim Palace is  a dream come true. It has housed a variety of magical upper scale weddings and served as a filming site for movies such as Harry Potter. The land boasts  over 2,000 acres of immucalate landscaped parks, lakes, formal gardens and amazing cafes.
I absolutely enjoyed my trip & it was only 45 min out of London, believe it or not. Jut catching a overground train from Marylebone station, directly takes you to the village closest to the Palace. I was taken around town by local and my uber designer friend Sophia Susasi to see all the sites Blenheim has to offer. It was elegant, natural, breath taking and a absolutely amazing experience to be surrounded by so much culture and history in the heart of the UK countryside.
