The Event

In 2009 BIKE BLENHEIM PALACE established itself as the most exciting new cycling event in the country. Over 7000 people either took part or came along to watch as elite cyclists, enthusiasts young and old, and families took to the oak lined roads of Blenheim Park. This unique event has something for everyone from the competitive cycling fanatic to families looking for somewhere spectacular and safe to ride their bikes.

In 2010 we will build on this success by producing an even more exciting event. We will once again be opening up Blenheim Park to cyclists for what will be a once-per-year opportunity.

The Venue

Blenheim Palace is home to 11th Duke of Marlborough and the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.

Set in 2,100 acres of beautiful parkland landscaped by 'Capability' Brown, the exquisite Baroque Palace is surrounded by sweeping lawns, formal gardens and the magnificent lake. Click here to visit the Blenheim Palace website.
