Painswick, the “Queen of the Cotswolds”, is a handsome hilltop village between Cheltenham and Stroud on the A46.
Wander honey-stone lanes shaped by the wool trade, then visit St Mary’s Church and its famous yew-lined churchyard — long said to hold 99 yews (locals now count around 106).
Each September the centuries-old Clypping ceremony sees parishioners join hands to encircle the church, a much-loved tradition in this characterful Cotswold spot.
Uncover playful follies and seasonal colour at the nearby Painswick Rococo Garden, then roam viewpoints on the Cotswold Way and around Painswick Beacon.
Make it a relaxing getaway at The Falcon Hotel or The Painswick — ideal bases for exploring lanes, churches, gardens and the whole of the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire.
