FORMAL GARDENS

The Formal Gardens at Blenheim Palace have a rich history that spans centuries, evolving alongside changing tastes and fashions in landscape design. The gardens surround the Palace including the majestic Water Terraces, the Duke's Private Italian Garden, the tranquil Secret Garden with all of its hidden treasures, the Churchill Memorial Garden and the beautifully delicate Rose Garden.
The original gardens were designed and constructed simultaneously with the palace itself. Henry Wise, the initial garden designer, transplanted full-grown trees to create an instant mature look for the 1st Duke of Marlborough, who favoured the elaborate formal style popular at the time.
In the 18th century, the 4th Duke commissioned Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to redesign the landscape.
