• Blenheim Palace - Constructed for John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough, Blenheim Palace stands as a tribute from a grateful nation. This magnificent stately home ranks among the largest in the UK and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987 due to its significance. Renowned as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, the grandson of the 7th Duke, Blenheim is an ideal destination for Churchill enthusiasts. Not only was Winston born here, but the Dukes also significantly influenced his political career and personal life.

Upon arrival at Blenheim, visitors are guided through the palace with the assistance of an excellent audio guide, supplemented by additional insights from the guide. Guests can enjoy both of the Churchill Tours at Blenheim, as well as the ‘Upstairs’ and ‘Downstairs’ Tours, offering a comprehensive understanding of this remarkable home. Finally, visitors can leisurely explore the breathtaking grounds.

• St Martin’s Church - This quaint local church is the final resting place of Sir Winston Churchill. Despite his national and historical significance, Churchill chose to be buried with his family at Bladon rather than in a prominent national monument like Westminster Abbey or St Paul’s Cathedral. Here, visitors can view the graves of Sir Winston and his wife, Lady Churchill, and pay homage to this historical giant. Additionally, there is an opportunity to admire the beautiful stained glass window, commissioned as a memorial to Sir Winston on the 50th anniversary of his passing, before returning to London where the guide will drop guests off at their accommodation or another central London location of their choice.
