In 1704, Blenheim architect John Vanbrugh set out to create something spectacular across what was then just a marshy brook. The Grand Bridge was the outcome, containing no less than 30 rooms.

In 1764, 'Capability' Brown set about improving and landscaping the grounds. His most notable work was the creation of Blenheim's Lake, which submerged the lower stories of the bridge.

Bladon Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Bladon Bridge as we call it today was originally referred to as 'New Bridge' and built by Sir William Chambers in 1772. It was named 'New Bridge' to distinguish it from Vanbrugh's Grand Bridge and replaced an earlier structure.
