Blenheim Palace

This morning we visited Blenheim Palace, a World Heritage Site, outside of Oxford. Blenheim Palace is Winston C.’s birth place. On a tour, we saw his mother’s birthing room and listened to recordings of him addressing his country. I overheard one elderly woman comment to her friend, “They don’t make statesmen like Churchill anymore, do they?!” After touring the palace, we walked along the lake and visited the gardens. The palace grounds are beautiful; we enjoyed strolling through the sweeping vistas amidst ancient trees and through piles of colorful fall leaves.
