Blenheim Palace reveals new dog-friendly walking trail

Keeping walkies interesting for dogs — and their owners — Blenheim Palace has launched a brand-new, interactive dog-walking trail in Oxfordshire.

Celebrating canine history, Blenheim Palace has created a dog-friendly walking route, inviting four-legged friends and their owners to explore the Estate through a specially designed experience.

Now open, the Dogs of Blenheim Palace Trail celebrates the long-standing connection between dogs and the palace over the centuries.

With dog-themed stories and facts dotted along the self-guided circular walk, find out about the many Blenheim Spaniels and the sheepdogs working on the Estate, as well as those featured in tapestries, paintings and Christmas cards, too.

Download the trail map — or scan a QR code on the trail boards — and follow the pawprints to complete the route, which takes approximately half an hour.

The trail starts in the East Courtyard by the Oxfordshire Pantry and takes you over the Grand Bridge, along the lakeside and towards the Column of Victory, before looping back to the Flagstaff Gate main entrance.

Visitors are reminded to keep dogs on leads, particularly in areas where wildlife, livestock and ground-nesting birds may be present.
