This is the view that you see as you enter Blenheim from the town of Woodstock (you miss it if you go through the tourist entrance!).
It was described as 'The Finest View in England' by Lord Randolph Churchill (father of Winston Churchill), when he brought his American bride to Blenheim. King George III said 'We have nothing like this' when he saw it.
This view arises from the work of Vanbrugh, who built the Palace and the Grand Bridge, followed 50 years later by Lancelot 'Gapability' Brown, who created the lake and island.
The light was brilliant when I arrived at Blenheim, but it was clouding over; however I think clouds add a lot to a scene, even though you may have to wait a bit for the lighting you want.
