Blenheim Palace — UNESCO World Heritage Site

Highlight • Historical Site

Blenheim Palace is a monumental country house situated in Woodstock, Oxfordshire. It is the principal residence of the Dukes of Marlborough, and the only non-royal non-episcopal country house in England to hold the title of palace.

The palace, one of England's largest houses, was built between 1705 and circa 1722. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987.

Grand Bridge at Blenheim Palace

Highlight • Bridge

In 1704, Blenheim architect John Vanbrugh set out to create something spectacular across what was then just a marshy brook. The Grand Bridge was the outcome, containing no less than 30 rooms.

In 1764, 'Capability' Brown set about improving and landscaping the grounds. His most notable work was the creation of Blenheim's Lake, which submerged the lower stories of the bridge.

Woodstock Historic Village

Highlight • Settlement

Woodstock is derived from old English, meaning a clearing in the trees. This is because Woodstock used to be part of the Royal Forest of Wychwood, most of which has since disappeared, cut down for industry and replaced by farmland.

The market town today is a good base for exploring the gently rolling limestone uplands of northern Oxfordshire. Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its wonderful grounds are set to the south and west of the town.
