Blenheim Palace – the main attraction of Woodstock
The main attraction of Woodstock was recognized by the Blenheim Palace, located on the outskirts of the city and representing the residence of several generations of the English royal family. According to the plans of Henry I, who ordered the territory to bend the territory, the first park-reserve should be located here, where leopards and lions would have walked freely. Subsequently, on the site of the hunting house built by him, a castle was erected, where Henry II had already spent time with his lover Rosamunda Clifford.
The castle is shrouded in a halo of legends and traditions, according to which the ghost of the beautiful Rosamund still lives here. They say that it came from a very poor family, but it was good that the king saw her immediately fell in love and moved her to the castle. But this entailed the anger of his wife to the girl and caused death.
