Thank you, hope you enjoy it. Did you go to Alton Towers in the summer and have a look around the gardens etc?

[@NancyWind-zr8te]

Great video

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thank you, very much appreciated! :)

[@RyanTravis23]

Leaving a comment just to say you give such good, detailed tours. And the way you talk is relaxing. Great stuff. Blenheim is such an interesting place. Didn't know about the Churchill Vanderbilt connection. Interesting.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thank you, I really appreciate that. It genuinely gives me encouragement to do more tours when people leave nice messages like yours. Thanks again, Adam :)

Hope you don't mind I skipped to the interior tour (come back for the full vid) *Massive* manor , love the attention to detail the craftsmen's had, impressive!

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Hee hee, no worries. You're welcome to watch as much or as little as you like, it's very much appreciated. And yes, they had some amazing artisans at work back then! :)

Hi Adam, really enjoyed the video - havent been to Blenheim Palace before - looks amazing

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thanks again. It's a great place to visit. So much history to get into if you really wanted to get into the details :)

[@MsDARTIST]

So.Magnificent.!

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Wonderful work Adam! You have done a great research; your description of Bernini´s "Fountain of the Four Rivers" in Piazza Navona is spot on. Regards.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thanks again 😃

Simply magnificance at it's height at 6:02! The water terrace gardens are stunning but I'm wondering what that person is doing in the water on the left hand side??? Another stunning view at 19:00. The house interior is almost overpowering but of note, to my mind, are the tapestries & then the marble carving in the Chapel! Facinating to hear about Churchill's proposal at The Temple of Diana & I think Capability Brown (48:26) should have studied the Japanese art of building stone walls - but that's another story! Nice view of The Grand Cascade at 51:05, reminds me of the Dohara Waterfall on Mt Chokai in the Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. Yes, the cricket scene is as English as you get & the water feature (The Roundel?) is nice. Excellent video - I like your presentation & appreciate the 7 & a half miles you've walked to show us around! 👍😊

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thank you. Your kind words are very much appreciated and all the bits of positive feedback from people spur me on to go on more trips in the future. You certainly seem to have a very good understanding and appreciation of these places yourself. Thanks again for watching and taking an interest, Adam 🙂

[@ajadrew]

@@AdamExploresBritain Yes, I love these places!👍😊

[@utebeate2921]

Hi Adam, in min 5:17 you show a figure with a sword? It looks like a trident, is it correct? I really enjoy the video, Thanks ! Love

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Yes, that's right. That's the figure of Britannia with her trident, with some French prisoners shackled up behind her. Thanks for watching, Adam :)

The 9th duke was a despicable human being, to say the least. He bluntly told Consuelo Vanderbilt that he did not love her and the only reason he married her was "to save Blenheim". No wonder her life was so sad, married to such a hateful and cold man. The story of this awful marriage is told in great detail in "Fortune´s Children" by Arthur T. Vanderbilt II. The book deals with the rise and fall of the Vanderbilt dynasty between 1870 and 1930 and gives you a realistic picture of America´s wealthiest families of the so-called "Gilded Age"

[@AdamExploresBritain]

That sounds really interesting actually. Might give that a read one day :)

[@angelamurphy9472]

Winston Churchill’s mother, Jenny Jerome an American heiress, was married to the 9th Duke’s brother Randolph. Consuelo Vanderbilt was forced by her mother to marry the Duke so she could be a duchess in exchange for the money that saved Blenheim. Such a sad, sad story.

[@AdamExploresBritain]

Thanks for sharing that with us. Adam :)

What's with all the riots in London?

[@AdamExploresBritain]

I don't think they really had much of a riot in London. It was mostly in other places around England and Northern Ireland. People were just looking for an excuse to cause trouble I think. Soon packed it in when they started dishing out prison sentences though...

[@janetbex7526]

They just don't build them like they used to
