Blenheim Palace is currently home to the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and was the birth place of Sir Winston Churchill. Built by John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough in 1712, the palace is set in 2100 acres of parkland which was later landscaped by Capability Brown. The Palace is a beautiful baroque building and the formal gardens and parkland provide a tranquil environment for a peaceful stroll.
