It's summer in England which means it's time to continue the Sunday Road Trip! This adventure took us to a Food festival at Blenheim Palace. I didn't get any photos of the festival itself - just a bunch of food tents, but we then walked up to the palace and had a walk around the man made lake. A bit overcast for nice photos, but you'll get the idea.
The roses were just starting to bloom.
The gardens are huge at Blenheim and designed by a famous UK garden designer called Capability Brown. He built a huge man made lake, changed the whole topography of the place and plants lots and lots of trees. The palace shows a video of his design - just amazing what he did and mostly through hand labor. He started in 1763 and it took almost 10 years to complete.
A cute little duck family also enjoying the grounds.
And here's a photo of the front of the palace itself from a previous visit.
This is a poor photo of the formal gardens just off the back of the palace.
