St Mary's Church and Yew Trees, Painswick

Highlight • Historical Site

Famous for the 99 topiary yew trees. Legend has it that if a hundredth tree is planted the devil will come and pull it out by the roots.

Painswick is a lovely example of a Cotswold town.

Beech Lane

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A good climb from Painswick up a narrow, but lovely lane. There are some steeper ramps, but these are never too long and punctuated by flatter sections.
