About

The aesthetic landscape garden Painshill, in Cobham, has everything for a great day out. Winding paths will take you on a journey to discover a living piece of art, with simply stunning views and beautiful garden buildings. Stroll around the Serpentine Lake and find follies including the Crystal Grotto, Gothic Tower and Ruined Abbey, to name just a few. For families there is a new natural play area, wildlife spotting trails as well as wildflower meadows for the kids to really get back to nature. Bring along a picnic or visit their Tea Room or Tower Café to complete your day.

Lovely garden

Landscaped gardens that are beautiful to walk around, many of the pathways are tarmacked or compacted earth allowing for wheelchair access, you can request a guide map for the accessible route, some areas are difficult to get to unless you have a strong companion to push you up the hills, when the crystal grotto is open wheelchairs can enter via the exit. There's a tearoom at the entrance which is accessible and provides a range of hot/cold food and drinks.

Great outdoor space. There's an accessible route of a decent length with a good map provided. Accessible loo near shop and cafe both of which have decent access too.
