Painswick continues to be a desirable and thriving community with many beautiful buildings, largely constructed from locally quarried stone, dating back as far as the 14th Century. Painswick Church is famous for its impressive stature and architecture, with a beautifully cared-for churchyard of stone table-top tombs and its abundance of yew trees – a prominent feature at the heart of the town.
Painswick Beacon, also an important part of Painswick's history, is the site of an ancient Iron Age hill fort, and due to its height at about 283m (928ft), it has arguably some of the best 360-degree views, you will find in the Cotswolds.
Painswick Rococo Garden was fantastical in both its character and inspiration. Created in the mid-1700s within a valley setting with deceptive vistas juxtaposed with serpentine paths, the Garden is peppered with charming follies to surprise and delight.
There are several local shops, galleries, tearooms, and restaurants in the village, along with a pharmacy, doctor, and dentist surgeries and two public houses.
