Careful on the golf course, stay to the edges. Fantastic views over Gloucester and stroud. If you want an express route down take Stockley and enjoy rocketing into Upton st. Leonards.

Fascinating archaeology, geology and nature combine at Haresfield Beacon. This spectacular viewpoint, which was once a strategically positioned hillfort on the Cotswold limestone escarpment, affords views across the England/Wales border and into the Brecon Beacons. All around is a mixed landscape of woodland and chalk grassland, home to a wide variety of flora and fauna.

Bit of a climb but worth it

The Painswick Rococo Gardens are the only Rococo Gardens in the UK, full of little follies, different types of gardens, sculptures and mazes. If you are in the area already, well worth checking them out.

Steepish track up but then grassy slopes and woods. Pandoramic views from the hill even if you don’t go up the tower.

Steep walk up the hill but well worth the effort for the fabulous views.

View over the Severn from Painswick Beacon - you can see May Hill and even further.

One of the most beautiful views in the Cotswolds with dozens of possible walking and cycling routes.

A magnificent location for a magnificent monument! Stunning views and surrounding woodlands.

Great views and hence, usually lots of people and dogs to avoid. The climb up from Cheltenham Road is short and punchy.

This is worth a trip on any bike, worth exploring from every direction, and certainly worth visiting cranham woods for even more good downhill, singletrack and fireroads. Just be mindful of cows and considerate to Golfers and Walkers who also share the beacon and it's surrounding land (also the royal william Pub nearby is nice!)

Stunning gardens in a lovely overall setting. Good free parking area. Play area (hidden away), lake, maze, second hand bookshop, gift shop, cafe. The shop is not open atm and maze is closed - children there seemed to mange to make their own entertainment though. Cafe was very welcoming and still has lovely food although limited due to COVID atm and only takeway currently. Toilet facilities usually include baby change but only portaloo now. Pretty good on the COVID arrangements and you need to book ahead. They are trying to work out how they can open up a bit more but limited space in cafe/shop building.

Amazing views on Cotswold Way, and a rewarding end if hiking up the steep stone path from the road. You will not be disappointed.

Make sure to walk all the way around it to find the entrance 👍

Loads of trails and roads to follow up to the beacon. Great views across to the river Severn - the area is shared with Painswick Golf course and often busy with Golfers, walkers and cyclists

Was keen to get to this monument as you can see it from miles away . To our surprise you can enter and climb the stairs to the top . Wouldn't want be there if it's busy as the steps are very very narrow. You will also need a torch as the lower to middle steps are pitch black.

Once you have enjoyed some of the great singletrack and doubletrack trails, climb to the top of the Beacon and take in the views

Iron Age burial site

This monument was built in 1866 in memory of the writer William Tyndale, who was born nearby. Tyndale finished translating the New Testament into English in 1525 and was martyred 13 years later in Belgium. The monument is 111 feet (34 m) high and affords magnificent views over the surrounding landscape. It's a fairly steep hike to the monument and, once inside, the staircase is also very steep and tight (you struggle to pass on the staircase). The monument is generally open to the public, but if locked a key is available from a cottage in North Nibley, details of which are given on the notice board.
