Picture Story: Autumnal Splendour at Blenheim Palace

While the days shorten and nights get colder, Blenheim Estate in Oxfordshire is still bursting with autumnal splendour, its carpet of colour drawing thousands of visitors in to explore the Capability Brown designed Parkland, home to a myriad wildlife including egrets, bats (12 of the UK’s 17 resident species) and the greatest number of ancient oak trees anywhere in Europe.

These stunning images of the UNESCO World Heritage Site were captured by Pete Seaward.

About Blenheim Estate

At Blenheim Estate Land we know that our land is precious and finite, but cared for properly its benefits can be limitless. Yet today there are fresh challenges like climate change, an ageing population and increasing urbanisation.

So our approach – spanning a number of projects – needs to be as sophisticated, enduring and holistic as those issues we face.

By adopting new methods of valuing our natural capital we can view our land resources as part of an ecosystem. An ecosystem whose benefits extend to the air we all breathe, the green transport solutions that connect our communities, the physical and mental health we enjoy, and the quality of the food we consume.
