Painswick in the Cotswolds: Things to see and do

Home > Cotswold Towns > Painswick in the Cotswolds: Things to see and do

At Loving the Cotswolds, we think Painswick is best enjoyed at an unhurried pace, taking time to notice the buildings, lanes and little local details that give the place its character.

We have included some useful local pointers, from The Bird & Deer Park, Prinknash, The Butchers Arms, Sheepscombe and The Stirrup Cup, Bisley to the smaller details that can turn a simple stop into a memorable Cotswold day out.

See, feed and stroke beautiful fallow deer, wonderful collections of waterfowl, pheasants and the amusing pygmy goats…all very tame and will feed from your hand. Open seven days a week from10am-5pm.

Fifteen clubs make up the Gloucestershire Federation of Young Farmers Clubs, including a number from right across the Cotswolds. With an age range from 10 to 26, YFCs are open to anyone in the county of age who has an interest in the countryside. The clubs are self-led organisations that vary greatly in their composition and character, but they are there to entertain and educate their members. Typically this would be a calendar of social, educational, fundraising and competitive events operating at club, county, South West area…
