Today Thursday the 22nd of September and the first day of Autumn we walked our feet off. After our hotel breakfast at 7am we walked to a free entrance to Blenheim Palace grounds only to find out the paths we wanted to take were closed and restricted because of work being done with dredging in the lake. We walked around the restricted paths and found our way to the Harry Potter Tree which I will post about later. Back to town and showers and lunch and then back to Blenheim grounds for a ticket to tour the grounds. On Friday we are heading back to Oxford for our last night in the United Kingdom.

Your trip is going by so quickly.
Impressive!
I can well imagine that you’ve done a lot of walking during your trip, but I’m sure that it has been worth it because Oxfordshire is an interesting county with so much to see in Oxford and the surrounding countryside. I remember taking a party of schoolchildren to Blenheim Palace which is a magnificent historical building. The children especially enjoyed walking in the vast grounds by the lake and by that wonderful bridge. Enjoy your last few days. Have a good journey home.
Hello,
I am sure you are getting in a lot of steps with your tours. The views of the palace and bridge are lovely. Take care, enjoy your day!
Oh Ellen, I love seeing your photos of Blenheim Palace! Aren’t the grounds beautiful. I remember they were designed by the one and only Capability Brown. Enjoy your last day in beautiful England!
Blenheim is a treasure. Hope you enjoyed!
