Butterfly House at Blenheim Palace

The greenhouse Blenheim butterflies is a beautiful place, and is especially enjoyable with children. In the UK there are 59 endemic species of butterflies, but five are already extinct, and another 30 are very endangered. They are not often seen in the countryside either. This greenhouse is an example of conservation efforts being made across the country.
In Blenheim, they are trying to raise as many species of butterflies as possible. They provide an environment of tropical plants and a high temperature, so that the butterflies are comfortable. In the greenhouse there is a small fountain, plants from Africa and Asia, and the staff can help to explain the butterfly species that are there.
