St Mary's Church and Yew Trees, Painswick

Highlight • Historical Site

Famous for the 99 topiary yew trees. Legend has it that if a hundredth tree is planted the devil will come and pull it out by the roots.

Painswick is a lovely example of a Cotswold town.

Upton Hill — Climb to Painswick

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A long and mostly steady climb from Upton St. Leonard's to Painswick. There are a couple of steeper sections on the way, but (thankfully) much shallower section in the middle to recoup some energy.

View Down Green Street

Highlight • Climb

If you're looking for really big hills this isn't one of them. From the Green Street barrier to the top this climb is only 0.3 miles long. Strava says it …

Fiddler's Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Nice gradual climb, gets you out of Cheltenham into the hills of the cotswolds.
