And now may I present: Blenheim Palace. The birthplace of Churchill, it's about an hour outside of London and definitely worth a trip. I took these photos on a visit there last year. It's as beautiful as it looks. Enjoy!

Thank you!

Wow, this looks exactly like my back garden lol!
ReplyDeleteLovely...imagine growing up in a place that big? OMG, I'd get lost trying to find my way to dinner!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. Thanks for the Saturday trip.

I last went to Blenheim on a school trip when I was about ten!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. I'm sitting here wishing I could go see something like this. Thanks for making my Saturday a bit brighter. :)
ReplyDeleteVery very lovely:)
ReplyDeleteIs this the same Blenheim Uncle Gardner talks about in Pride & Prejudice when he asks Elizabeth about her reservations on going to Pemberly?
ReplyDelete"Surely no more than Chatsworth or Blenheim?"
Lovely place, is it a castle, part of the Queen's holdings? or is it a town or just a tourist place? I would lov to get lost in the gardens. Simply beautiful.
Wow, it does look like a palace! I want to go!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - so formal - very different from anything we have in my area of the world. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that garden maze looks just beautiful. I would love to walk through there.
ReplyDeleteLike all the other commentators, I am enthralled. I'd love to wander through its gardens, and then watch a jousting event!
ReplyDeleteThanks again Talli for bringing a bit of your historical beauty across the oceans.
Oh wow! Love the garden maze. Beautiful pics, Talli!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're all enjoying it! I had so much fun there with my parents and husband last year - that maze is harder than it looks, believe me!
ReplyDeleteAnne - yes, I believe it may be the same palace. Blenheim was built in the early 1700s. It's not part of the Queem's holdings but instead belongs to the Duke of Malborough, who still lives in one of the wings!
Nice! I missed this place during my trips to England.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I enjoyed our little outing very much!
ReplyDeleteLondon is great. My favorite thing to do in London is to visit the British Museum. It's even free >:)
ReplyDeleteCold As Heaven
I love the fact that in those days people even tidied their gardens.
ReplyDeleteI would love to take a walk through that garden.
ReplyDeleteBTW-Love the cover. :)
Spectacular! What a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI love mazes - this looks spectacular!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS(:
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures. Happy Saturday. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to visit that place some day.
ReplyDeleteCD
Is that one of those garden mazes? I must experience that in this lifetime!
ReplyDeleteThose gardens look magical! Thanks for sharing photos from your beautiful country -- they make me more excited than ever for my trip to Europe in June. Hey, flying through Heathrow 6/18!
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is going great!
Your pictures are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. It's like visiting but without having to update my passport -- hard to do when you're in the Federal Witness Protection Program -- just kidding.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend, Roland
Lovely. Whenever I see a garden maze I think of the movie LABYRINTH...is that weird? LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are very lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteChurchill was born in a palace? Did not know that. It's gorgeous.

Talli,
ReplyDeleteYou really got some great pictures -- very dramatic lighting.
I wonder what the heating bill for that place is?! :)
Love it :-)
ReplyDeleteOmg I wasn't really looking through blogs the end of this week, so I totally missed the cover post! That's SO COOL that you have a cover already! I think it's really pretty. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteAlso, those are gorgeous pics.
Ooh I have been there, and I remember the old house and the gardens were great to wander around in! Happy w/end! ;)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love when you post pictures, they always temporarily take me away from boring old home. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous of your being able to visit these amazing places. And of your book cover, too. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the cover! And I'm so jealous you've seen your cover design already. Does that make everything feel real???? I'm dying to see our cover!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! I'm reading one of Churchill's books right now. :)
ReplyDeleteAh.... Love, love, love! *is jealous*
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! Why don't we have any gorgeous homes like that around here in St. Charles, Missouri? :(
ReplyDeleteHow did you get pictures of my house?! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThose are great!
