What Can I Expect
See magnificent Blenheim Palace from the air on a helicopter tour! Setting off from Oxford Airport in a Robinson R44 helicopter, these flights take Blenheim Palace sightseeing to a whole new level.
Buy your vouchers for one or two places on shared departures, or go for the Exclusive option for a private charter for up to three. Flights are available on regular weekend dates throughout the year.
That means you can see Blenheim Palace in any season. Imagine hovering over Capability Brown-designed formal gardens in the height of summer when they are in full bloom. Take to the skies on a crisp, autumn morning to see deer grazing on the dewy pastures. Blenheim is beautiful in any season.
The ancestral home of the Duke of Marlborough, Blenheim Palace is a national treasure that is a World Heritage site. As well as the imposing stately home, the estate covers acres and acres of grounds, all of which is best seen from the air!
As you approach the Blenheim estate, see if you can spot the likes of the Grand Cascade on the River Glyme, the Marlborough Hedge Maze, the Rose Garden, the Butterfly House or even the little red ‘Winston’ train.
Blenheim Palace is Sir Winston Churchill’s birthplace and if, whilst you’re flying over the neighbouring village of Bladon, you spot a church, that will be St Martin’s where Churchill is buried in his family grave.
Quite possibly the best way to see the famous estate, these Blenheim Palace helicopter tours are always really popular, so don’t delay, book today!
