Gloucester Cathedral (1 mile)
This fascinating and historic Cathedral stands on a site that has seen religious worship for more than 1300 years. A monastery was built on the site in the 11th century. In 1089 William the Conqueror ordered the construction of the building we see on the site today - which thankfully survived the dissolution of the abbey by Henry VIII in 1541. Visitors to this magnificent building will enjoy the impressive fan-vaulted cloisters, the superb medieval glass of the east window, and should not miss the Tomb of King Edward II. The cathedral is open to visitors every day, and guided tours are also available.

Painswick Rococo Gardens (5 miles)
First created in the 1740s as a pleasure garden by Benjamin Hyett, by the early part of the 19th century the layout had been changed - but not before local artist Thomas Robins had painted the original gardens and immortalised them for future generations. The gardens were abandoned altogether in the 1950s, and reverted to woodland. An exhibition of Thomas Robins' paintings in 1976 provided the catalyst for the restoration of the original 18th century garden which began in 1984. Today, Painswick Rococo Garden Trust continue to restore and maintain the fascinating 6 acre gardens, using the original painting for guidance. Visitors can enjoy the delightful mixture of formal geometric shapes, and informal paths which characterise this unforgettable garden. With nature trails, a maze, restaurant and gift shop, Painswick has all the ingredients for a great day out for garden lovers.
