Britain's Best - Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace was the best day out I had last year. I thoroughly enjoyed it. And it is genuinely a whole day out. There so much to see inside and the grounds are so extensive that you really do need to allow the whole day to see it all. The only thing I found slightly frustrating were the rolled back carpets and the equisite pieces of furniture stuffed in unnatural positions - but that is typical of any Stately home, what you actually see is not how it is lived-in.

And a word of warning. Don't go anywhere near the ornamental temple where Churchill proposed to Clemmie if your girlfriend is with you. There is some sort of spiritual power there that might very well tempt you do likewise !

We have two children aged 7 & 2 and they both enjoyed their day out. As our 2 year old is still in a push chair, we didn't think you'd be able to take it in the house, but the staff were so friendly and we were allowed to take it in. One of the rooms had a dome shape to it and my son started to shout at the top of his voice, but the staff joked that all younger children seem to know that their voices would echo in this room.

They seem to welcome anyone, any age and its nice to be able to have a family day out where you aren't restricted.

We all loved it there and hope to visit again very soon.

I must say that visiting Blenheim Palace makes a great day out, although a little dissapointed about there not being more to see inside the palace. It really didn't have a bad effect on the visit, in fact, thinking positively, it was a good thing as it meant we had more time to look around the grounds! I learnt a lot there but i would like to know for certain if the bridge was actually ever lived in and if it actually has rooms that you can or were able to go in. If anyone knows I'd be grateful if they could inform me. thanks.
