Painswick Rococo Garden is unique in that it is the only surviving garden of the rococo period which is open to the public. The Garden is on the Historic England Register of
Parks or Gardens of Special Historic Interest. It was created at a time when garden design was in transition. Previously, gardens had been formal, regular in layout and usually sited close to the dwelling. Now they were light-hearted, flamboyant and even frivolous. Features were included to surprise the visitor and make them smile. They were there to go into and enjoy. They became theatrical sets in which to hold lavish garden parties. This fabulous garden set down in the valley is open to the public, complete with a delicious café and gift shop.
