About this activity

The Cotswolds and Blenheim tour combines this wonderful palace with one of the most beautiful regions in the country – The Cotswolds.

Blenheim Palace is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful palaces in the UK. With over 300 years of history and over 2000 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds. It was also the birth place of Winston Churchill. You will discover wonderful paintings and tapestries as well as stunning examples of baroque architecture. If that wasn’t enough then perhaps just to gaze out over the enchanting lakes towards the surrounding forests.

This is then combined with a wonderful combination of villages in the Cotswolds region. We visit some of the famous highlights and then get off the beaten path to see secluded villages that only the locals know about.

The tour has an itinerary but I can happily adapt it on the day if you have any specific areas of interest.
