Painshill
Overview
Covering 158 acres, this magnificent 18th-century landscape garden was created by Charles Hamilton as a series of subtle and surprising vistas. Its landscape includes authentic 18th-century plantings, a working vineyard, unusual follies, and a unique grotto (limited opening times). The garden is also home to the John Bartram Heritage Collection of North American Trees and Shrubs. There are events for the whole family throughout the year and Father Christmas visits the grotto in December.

About the area
Surrey is one of England’s most wooded counties, with over a quarter of the landscape designated as an official AONB and plenty of history evident in the countryside. You’ll find sandy tracks, cottage gardens and welcoming village inns, and on the fringe of Greater London you can picnic in Chaldon’s hay meadows, explore the downs at Epsom, or drift idly beside the River Thames.
