About
Designed in the 1740s by Benjamin Hyett as a stage for entertaining, Painswick's garden is a confection of crooked vistas, hidden follies, and serpentine walks — the architectural taste of a brief, theatrical English moment between the formal and the picturesque.
Lost under woodland for nearly two centuries, the garden was restored in the 1980s using Thomas Robins's 1748 painting as the master plan. The Snowdrop Grove, with five million blooms, is one of the great winter sights of the Cotswolds.
