We visited the Palace to attend a wedding and it was the most spectacular setting. Thankfully, we didn't have to pay the £17.50 entrance charge but even if we had, I think it would have been worth it. The grounds are beautifully kept and would be good for a long walk. The palace itself is in fantastic condition and ideal... more

Having looked at the past reviews of Blenheim Palace, I would recommend that you visit this site when the weather is warmer and you will be able to enjoy the grounds. While the portion of the house open to the public is interesting and nice, what truly sets this property apart in my opinion is the gardens and the park.... more

I had the pleasure of visiting Bleinham Palace on April 25/09, on a beautiful sunny and warm day. The house and chapel are as to be expected quite beautiful, and the Winston Churchill exhibit is extremely interesting with various artifacts from his life. I would also recommend the 30 minute behind the scenes tour, which was an enjoyable experience. But,... more

Blenheim Palace is situated close to Oxford and highly recommended to those interested in historic houses - and those who enjoy a walk around gardens and parks. It makes a great day trip from London, can also be squeezed into a half-day trip in combination with Oxford. The interiors are breathtaking and partially homely at the same time - the... more

Okay, here's the current Winter deal. You can either visit just the park and gardens, or the palace, park and gardens. We chose the latter - at a cost of £13.95 each - but only really saw the palace due to the cold and wet weather! Why don't they sell a "Palace Only" ticket?! There have been some unfavourable reviews... more

My husband and I went to Blenheim Palace recently and it was a relaxing day. We took a long walk around the grounds which were fabulous. We played on the putting green, with the giant chess, but missed out the maze as hundreds of french students decended upon us and we wanted to get away. The butterfly house was nice... more

We visited Blenheim Palace on the 23/03/2008, Easter Sunday and after what was a rip-off visit I just wanted to share some thoughts with you to better inform you on your next visit. Once you enter the grounds you immediately have to pay admission. You can either pay £16.50 for the palace, gardens and park or £9.50 without the palace.... more

We used to enjoy visiting the village of Woodstock and walking around the grounds of the palace after lunch. Tried to do the same last weekend and were horrified to discover that it now costs £9.50 per person just to get into the grounds! It's £16.50 for the palace itself - from what I recall of my last visit, that... more

We are lucky to live not far away (30 min drive) so visit at least once annually. The entrance fee is very high (£16.50 this year) but just about worth it if you make a day of it and see all there is to see, especially if you are from overseas. The palace itself only has a small number of... more
