When in this area a visit to Blenheim Palace is a must. It costs a fortune to get in, but we offset some of the costs by taking our own sandwiches. We had the guided tour, which is a must really, or you miss too much. This year is the 300th anniversary of the battle of Blenheim (Blindheim in German). It was John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough who defeated the forces of Louis X1V in the war of Spanish Succession. All that we saw at Blenheim had a WOW factor so it was well worth the visit.
