Located just 10 miles from Cheltenham, the town and civil parish of Painswick serves as an integral part of the county of Gloucestershire. Once prosperous due to its wool trade, the town is now more well-known for the yew trees in its parish church and the Rococo Garden in its centre. Cotswold Stone, found in the area, was used extensively in the construction of the village. It is located in the middle of the Cotswolds Way National Trail on a hill overlooking one of the Five Valleys in the Stroud area. It has a popular golf course on the outskirts of town and is home to a cricket and rugby team. The Royal Oak is a local watering hole known for its traditional fare, homely fireplaces, and outdoor courtyard. The village store is located directly across from the bar. The Painswick Beacon is only a twenty-minute stroll from the centre of the village, and it offers breath-taking panoramas of Gloucester, the River Severn, and the Malvern Hills. The Painswick Centre is home to the ACP Gallery, among other events and exhibitions. Laurie Lee, author of "Cider with Rosie," grew up in the town of Slad, located two miles to the northwest of Painswick.

Visitors to the Cotswolds have long treasured memories of charming towns and villages built from the famous honey-coloured stone, it now boasts a thriving community of contemporary artists working from studios and shops throughout the area.
