Painswick Rococo Garden

Escape the 21st century and explore a country gentleman’s fanciful garden. Designed in the 1740s for holding intimate garden parties, this hidden valley is now the country's only surviving complete rococo garden. Enjoy the gorgeous views, snuggle in one of the garden follies and have a go on our woodland swing. Then battle through the unusual maze and enjoy homemade food in the café.

Disabled Access at Painswick Rococo Garden

The Cafe and Shop are accessible to wheelchairs, and there is an accessible toilet on site.

The Garden has steep paths and uneven surfaces and therefore around 20% of the Garden is accessible to wheelchairs - an access routes map may help with planning your visit. To aid you there are handrails on the steepest slopes and there are 45 benches dotted around the Garden. We do not recommend attempting to visit the Garden with a motorised scooter due to the nature of the terrain.

Please feel free to ring on 01452 813204 for further advice. Carers of a disabled person admitted free of charge.
