Almost like a breath of fresh air this morning 14 January 2021 so much to catch up with my last visit to the wonderful place in the English countryside, a mountain of old English history around the FAMOUS CHURCHILL FAMILY

Perfect choice of music to accompany the viewing of such a magnificent palace! Thank you for posting a video void of incessant chatting. Well done....

My 6th grade history teach walked by the camera at one point. No joke.

Magnificent! I can we'll see why it was a privilege to live there. It must have, and still does, require an army of people to keep the place up!

Magnificent video and superb music. Thank You !!!!

They have staff, and a lot of volunteers. In most English country houses they do a deep clean in winter. And other than visitors, these houses aren't really used much.

Having to traverse so much space could be quite wearisome I suppose. This edifice is rather heavy and overwhelming. It reminds me of the fact that despite all of our labours and achievements, we humans go out of this world as naked as we entered it. Some people are weighed down by what they own. What is really worthwhile (precious) in life? The story of Lazarus and the rich man is a warning to humanity. Nevertheless it was good to have the opportunity to look at this.

Michael Jiroch -the music of the Italian baroque master Giovanni Bononcini would have been very appropriate as the duke and duchess of Marlborough were great patrons of this composer who was George Frederick Handel's great rival.The duchess, in particular, was a great fan.Rivalry between the fans of these 2 leading opera composers led to the famous rhyme "between tweedledum and tweedledee." Handel won out in the end as it was demonstrated that Bononcini had passed off someone else's music as his own and he had to leave England in disgrace.Incidentally, the famous tune known as "Handel's largo" was previously a tune by Bononcini that Handel improved on.Incidentally again -Handel's "Largo" was the first piece of music to be broadcast on public radio -by a Canadian inventor called Fessenden circa 1907.

How a palace should look. Finally something that can compare to French and Spanish palaces.

Que belleza de edificación. Todo excelente diseño y calidad y arte. Si que tenían muy buen gusto

beatiful Video

I just can't believe how big it is. A small portion of the front center part alone looks like it could be a mansion by itself. No homes in the world compare to English country houses. Disgusting displays of wealth but so beautiful I can't help but fall in love and daydream about the lives nobles led in those homes (cognitive dissonance much?) I can't wait to tour a few of them. I recently found out you can book a room in Blenheim for a couple nights. The experience would be worth the money

Disgusting displays of indifference also when trying to contact them on anything at all including merchandise sold that may have been out of date. Indifference is what I come away with. Better places to visit for free within 10 miles and possibly less hassle.

My memories of Blenheim Palace from several years ago. It’s splendid in the way these huge stately homes are, and it is huge. It has a lot of very high grey halls, and many beautiful but perhaps overly ornate rooms with priceless furniture and hung with family and historical portraits, mostly relating the story of the Marlborough’s whose home this is. The most interesting room I thought is the moderate sized bedroom where Winston Churchill was was born, which has some items from his childhood preserved there, and the most beautiful room is the long light filled drawing room/library. This room also has a magnificent and well maintained pipe organ at one end, and organ recitals have been held there and probably still are. Have attended one there on one occasion which was a lovely experience. The grounds and gardens are stunning, designed by Capability Brown, and watching a herd of Friesian cattle coming across the field to the milking parlour suggests Blenheim situated just outside the very attractive village of Woodstock, is also a working farm.

It may have been the residence of dukes, but it looks more like a royal palace than any of the Queen's

A vert Nice palace to visit. Avery fitting music. But the filming was a disapointment. The place deserves Munch better!

I will like to tour it I can see it is nice place to tour

I live in the USA, but have been to Blenheil Palace several times on my trips to England. I liked it better 25 years ago, when sheep were grazing on the land. It was more open years ago. My last trip there was a couple of years ago. The tour guide was rather rude and not very knowledgable or engaging. There was security patroling the place. Not a welcoming enviorment. The locals are able to hang out on the grounds for free.

Sure, Bath used to b better 25 years ago also but things change and some things do not. IMO, your cash is better spent in Cheltenham which is about midway between Blenheim and Bath.. Did I mention cash? I run the largest free website of free attractions in the uk so I haven revenue from it. I do it for love. If I see a turd, I call it a turd. Blenheim is a turd imo. Book yourself into somewhere around Cheltenham next time, then move north to the Lake district or south to Dorset

Good choice, Baroque music for one of the few extant examples of English Baroque architecture.

After watching this video I'm out of my mind, are there in this world such magnificent palace. This is more more than a luxurious living , do you have a word to describe it in the English language ( I'm from India and I don't ).I want to thank you for this presentation. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Salisbury Park, Pune.

Read up on arcadians then lyao ;o) The British won at Waterloo I recall. 1066 was won by the vikings I recall. They took over northern france after failing to take northern England, assimilated then took England when it had its back to the wall on another war. It was not a french win, it was the scandinavians that moved to northern france and used the back door. we all know the french like the back door and it is fact that the french eat cock.

To think this was all possible because a Churchill was friends with the king consort.

No such thing as a king consort. If you are king, you rule. William is unique, because his wife also was a ruler, Mary II. This had never been done before, and has never done since. Every other king who had a queen, had a queen consort, who was not a ruler. Will not weary you with the complicated politics that led to joint rule by William III and Mary II.

Yeah no

I would say clear of the place to be honest.. They are very hard to contact when questioning the "best before day" on a product that carries the name, and equally as hard to contact on telephone lines given by them. Best example may be you are chocking to death on a product puechached in their store, and yo cannot get through to the seller or the manufacturer. There are many places in the uk that have way better service and may not leave you or yours dead while trying to contact the owners or company during normal opening hours .... Mc Donalds? KFC? Even Wimpy who I think make the worst burger in town in my opinion seem to be contactable and even pleasant enough to engage in pleasant dialogue so what is the problem that Blenheim Palace has? Some sort of self love that states they have a coveted name and are impervious to providing a service ? I can state at least 5 quality venues close to Blenheim that are free to enter and man their telephones.. Why bother with Blenheim Palace and the hassle? "

The Spencer-Churchills have been a plague on the royal family ever since they built this monstrosity from the sacred ruins of Woodstock Palace. A blight! A blight on Winston Churchill and Princess Diana! May their lives be tough.
