  1. Hi
    Which entrance do you use when you go birding here please.
    Do you park in the main car park and how much do they charge. Are the areas where the ducks and eygrets easy to find. Any help would be appreciated.

  2. Hi, it is best to use the small green gate on the A44 opposite what used to be the Black Prince pub. If you use this entrance you can walk around the lakes without needing to buy a ticket. There are pay and display meters in Woodstock now and some of the nearby streets are permit only parking so not the easiest place to try and park. The public carpark near the fire station I think may be free although it's not that big. If you wanted to park in Blenheim itself I think you'd have to buy a day ticket for the grounds which is probably pricey knowing Blenheim. The great white egrets are around the edges of both lakes at the moment. Not many little egrets at the moment and the cattle egrets aren't around during the winter.
