The Sleeping Beauty on Ice at Blenheim Palace

Graced with exquisite works of art and furniture, the Palace interiors beautifully balance the delicate with the awe inspiring. Blenheim Palace is set in 2100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by ‘Capability’ Brown, and is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens and the magnificent Lake.
