Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, is a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture. Built in the early 1700s, the stunning State Rooms are brimming with priceless pictures, exquisite porcelain collections and magnificent tapestries. You'll have the opportunity to see the room where Churchill was born and visit the Palace grounds - lakes spanned by stone bridges, woodlands, follies and the Marlborough Maze, the world's second largest hedge maze.

Steeped in history and heritage the area of England known as the Cotswolds are a charming blend of cottages with honey-coloured walls and thatched roofs, market towns with crooked half-timbered houses lining the High Street, and ancient stone crosses, all set in the gently rolling hills ('wolds') that are so typically English in character. Here we will enjoy a typical English lunch in one of the pretty villages.

This full day tour includes first-class luxury motorcoach and services of professional blue-badge guide.
