Stunning gardens set in a beautiful backdrop of hills and valleys. We visited on a sunny day on July but I imagine it's lovely in the autumn too.

Painswick Rococo Garden is a unique 18th century garden set in a hidden valley with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Painswick Rococo Garden was designed in the 1740s as an English country gentleman's pleasure garden, a place for holding intimate garden parties. Laid out in a hidden valley around Painswick House, the Garden is now the country's only complete surviving rococo garden. Since 1984, an ambitious restoration programme has transformed the Garden from a woodland wilderness into a stunning place to escape the busy world. Enjoy beautifully-framed views or snuggle in one of the fanciful garden buildings. Battle to find the centre of the unusual maze and enjoy homemade food in the cafe afterwards. The Garden is famous for its snowdrop displays in winter, usually February

Check the website for the latest information. Currently large number of snowdrops out carpeting the ground. Many different varieties on show. Soon it will be daffodils and then blossom. Lovely path to walk around nice water features and views . Small shop with nice goods on sale and a lovely cafe with excellent coffee cakes and food. Eight pounds entrance fee although cafe is before the entrance. Would go again

5. Owlpen Manor House and Gardens
Overall Ratings
3.0 based on 10 reviews
Stunning Cotswold manor house set in its own private valley. House dates to the 1400s but the site has been inhabited for over 1000 years. Magical hanging gardens open to the public: they slope gently from the church down to the brook at the bottom of the valley, and visitors can find terraced formal gardens, extensive kitchen garden, orchards and woodland walks.
