🚗PainswickStart Point

Painswick is often called the Queen of the Cotswolds — an exceptionally beautiful village of grey stone houses, a famous churchyard of clipped yew trees, and the wooded Painswick Beacon rising directly above. The Cotswold Way passes through, and the Slad Valley, made famous by Laurie Lee’s Cider with Rosie, lies just to the east.

An exceptionally beautiful village often considered the finest in the Cotswolds, Painswick makes a superb walking base directly on the Cotswold Way, with the Slad Valley and Painswick Beacon both within easy reach.
