A day trip to Blenheim Palace
We started our visit with a walk in the parkland.
Queen's Lake
Didn't expect to find a whomping willow! :)
Not a bad place for a picnic!
We sat in the sun by the Great Lake enjoying our picnic and watched the wildlife.
It was approximately a 4 mile walk around the lake.
Sweet cottage on the estate.
Love this gnarly bark!
I couldn't resist hiding from my husband in this hollow tree! :)
After our walk we went into the butterfly house. It was super hot in there!
Little zebra finches live there too.
A much needed ice cream to help us around the maze.
We didn't get lost in the maze!
The little boy wanted a ride on the train, back to the palace. :)
We didn't have time to go inside the palace this time.
The main reason for our visit was to see A Midsummer Night's Dream performed at the Rose Theatre that evening.
The Rose Theatre is a pop-up theatre, designed like the Globe Theatre in London.
The play was excellently performed.
After a lovely evening, it was time to leave and head for home.
