Who knew Sir Winston Churchill was the 10th Duke of Marlborough? Not us, until visiting Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, UK, 30 minutes drive from Oxford. The Palace was a gift from Queen Anne to the 1st Duke, John Churchill, for defeating the French at Blenheim, Germany in 1705. The 2100
acres of pristine grounds, water terraces, and Italian, Rose and Secret Gardens were stunning. The interior of the palace was grand and elegant with a great audiovisual tour given by a "ghost" relating the 300 year history of its occupants. Spookishly entertaining.
