Painswick, Gloucestershire

If you ever wished to experience fairytale life, consider Painswick. Even the most cynical man will be surprised after visiting St. Mary's churchyard. The grounds will lull you to sleep with their 99 beautiful yew trees. For good cause, it has been dubbed the "Queen of the Cotswolds".


Run through the tree tunnel, marvel at the tabletop tombs, and look in the church tower for Civil War artifacts. The tombs are from the seventeenth century. The locals are welcoming and inviting, and they often have great stories (and perhaps tea and biscuits) to share if you happen to arrive on time for a service. Then, get lost in the meandering streets dotted with traditional English houses. The houses here are constructed of Cotswold stone, similar to Castle Combe. You can still see remnants of Painswick's past as a wool town, such as donkey doors on Bisley Street if you search hard enough. Don't miss Rococo Gardens, which in addition to its magnificent gardens also gives breathtaking views of the surrounding area. Even though it's a bit outside of town, it's definitely worth a visit.
