Blenheim Palace




On Sunday we went to Blenheim Palace, which is the home of the Duke of Malborough. It is one of those amazing ancestral homes, with great gardens and lakes. The first Duke was John Churchill, who is an ancestor of Winston Churchill. The inside is a big Churchill fest, with the room he was born, hair from when he was a kid, where he proposed and got married.

The nicest part was the outside, but unfortunately it was really cold. It would be really amazing in the summer when everything was blooming, but still not a bad place to live.
