Bleinheim Palace

I quite liked this one.

Bleinheim Palace was given to John Churchill by Queen Anne. John Churchill was an ancestor of Winston Churchill.

I'm really not into war and all that political stuff, but this place did manage to shove a few bits of history into me anyway. Now I know stuff about Blenheim Palace

They did have an interactive display with a video and models that moved and lights that lit up when appropriate. It led you through several rooms that showed the history of the Palace. A nice change from guided tours and/or self guided tours with a map. Or even audio guides.

All in all, I'm glad I did this tour. It would have been hard to visit these places on my own, especially the Cotwolds, because there's really no other convenient way or travelling between these one-street towns. I found the tour a bit rushed, though. It is already one of the tours with fewer places, but still. Perhaps I'm just used to taking my time with stuff. I would especially have liked to spend more time in Burford and at Blenheim. I didn't even get a chance to walk through and enjoy the gardens, I kinda just had the time to glance up and down it and take a few photos. Such as this one of the back of the palace.
