First-hand experiences
I didnt get GPS working until i asked some helpful young couple. I’d say the route is pleasant, not much variety mainly open fields, and too much on roads or tarmac for my feet. Im used to Peak District and more woods so i found it a bit samey. ...Thank you anyway.
Stunning walk
This is a lovely walk starting through open fields and ending through the grounds of Blenheim palace. Good for dogs with no stiles and not much livestock except for at the end in Blenheim Palace ground.
Walk information
This is our recommended walk from the pretty old Oxfordshire market town of Woodstock and as well as exploring the town, it also takes you deep into the beautiful Blenheim Park.
On this walk you will be surrounded by lovely fields, wonderful parkland, towering old oak trees and a beautiful lake - all against the backdrop of the magnificent Blenheim Palace itself.

A wonderful walk with beuatiful views and lots of amazing wildlife to see!
A walk around the grounds of Blenheim. So plenty of people and some vehicles. Pleasant enough though.
There is construction ongoing and the footaths are closed around the lake...
Beautiful views.
This is a great walk. Thoroughly recommend it
