Painswick, The Cotswolds
Situated in the heart of the charming Cotswolds village of Painswick, this exquisite Grade II listed building is a true gem. It proudly stands across from the renowned St. Mary's churchyard, adorned with its meticulously maintained ninety-nine yew trees. Painswick itself is enveloped by breath taking countryside and is nestled within an area of unparalleled natural beauty. Aptly known as the "Queen of the Cotswolds," this village holds a special place in the Cotswold Way national trail, positioned midway between Chipping Campden to the north and Bath to the south, both approximately fifty miles away. The village showcases the architectural splendour of locally quarried Cotswold stone, a testament to its prosperous history in the wool and cloth trade. St. Mary's church, with its picturesque surroundings of the famous ninety-nine yew trees and elegant table tombs, is a sought-after venue for weddings, adding to the village's allure.
With a commanding view of Gloucestershire’s miraculous Five Valleys, Painswick bears a notable history and heritage to match the inescapable beauty that encompasses the town. Built on the foundations of its own legendary stone, and grown from its chronicled wool trade, the characterful town takes you back to a simpler time, warmed by the narrowed streets and familiar cottages we’ve grown up to consider quintessentially British.
In the village there is a variety of small shops, cafes, restaurants and the local pub with large open fire is only fifty meters up the road.
