An artistic town full of surprises, Nailsworth is renowned for its award-winning restaurants, pubs, cafes and a celebrated bakery, which is home to the Fabulous Baker Brothers.

Nailsworth remains lively throughout the day and evening and its small individual shops offer an amazing variety of goods – organic locally grown produce, first-class delicatessen products, fair-trade items from across the world, and fascinating antiques and collectables. 

The town can claim to have the largest number of working water wheels per square mile in England.

One of the focal points for artistic activities is Ruskin Mill which is set in beautiful, organic water gardens. 

To the north of Nailsworth lies the mysterious and haunted Woodchester Mansion with its lakes surrounding the area.
