Painswick Golf Club and Grasslands

Lovely track through well-maintained open grasslands and great views of the surrounding countryside - just beware of the golf balls.

Painswick Beacon

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is a lovely walk up to Painswick Beacon and the views are very impressive. You are afforded a full panorama from the summit and the views over to the Severn estuary are exceptional. The route to the top does pass through a golf course, though, so watch out for stray balls.

Overgrown Path and Stream Crossing, The Cotswolds

Highlight • Trail

Part of the '50 best walks in the Cotswolds' Painswick route - the green track it sends you down is VERY overgrown, but if you're up for a challenge and don't mind getting scratched by brambles, it's a very fun decent and about halfway down the footing is pretty slippery as the stream joins the path. Fun walking route but not a simple one!
