As the sun begins to make a more regular appearance, attractions of Oxford and the surrounding areas become considerably more appealing. This is certainly true of the exquisite Blenheim Palace, an early 18th century stately home situated 8 miles north of Oxford in a little village called Woodstock.
Blenheim Palace was a gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation to John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough following his famous victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. It is surrounded by over 2,000 acres of 'Capability' Brown landscaped parkland, the great lake, and beautiful formal gardens.
This year Blenheim Palace will of course be on OISE Oxford's cultural leisure programme. Click on the image below to see some student photos from the cultural leisure programme of summer 2012.
