Painshill is a Masterpiece of Garden Design

Created in the 18th century by Charles Hamilton as a living painting, Painshill invites you to walk around a work of art and discover dramatic follies, calming waters and stunning views.

It’s a fantastic day out for all the family that’s full of heritage, beauty, adventure and outdoor fun.
