Painswick Rococo Garden hotels places to stay near to from Great British Gardens

Painswick Rococo Garden is a unique 18th century garden set in a hidden valley with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. The term 'Rococo Garden' is associated with garden design from 1720 to 1760. Its restoration began in 1984 and much of it is now set out in its original form. A rarely seen 'Exedera' or seating area or place to pass the time of day is set out at the end of the unusually placed vegetable area. The Red House - pictured above is another focal point and is still in its original colour. There is a fascinating combination of woodland walks, vistas, a large kitchen garden which has been restored. Some more formal borders which are still developing. It is famous for its snowdrop displays in winter, coming into their best around late January and likely to last several weeks subject to suitable weather. See website for more info. If visiting this garden take time to visit the small town of Painswick famous for the Yew Trees in the Churchyard.		Hotels and places to stay near to Painswick Search now - click here
