Walking with Artists

Where we walk/2

Mills and Yew trees
Painswick is a gem of a Cotswold village, set with stunning views of hills and vallleys at all compass points. We start at Painswick’s churchyard, famous for it’s amazingly sculptural yew trees, that are the subject of local legend.
We leave the village, walking through narrow streets that are lined by stonebuilt cottages, houses and mills. Shortly we cross stiles and streams, finding ourselves on footpaths and tracks that lead away from civilization and into a visualy stimulating countryside.
Our lunch break will be at a country pub after which we continue our circular walk returning to Painswick in the late afternoon.

Terrain
Starting in a village, the walk is mostly on narrow lanes and footpaths that lead through woodland and fields. Undulating with some steep accents and descents
