- Rolling hills, wide open spaces and biological and geological Site of Special Scientific Interest rising up above the Stroud Valleys and Severn estuary. Minchinhampton Common is a large (82.7-hectare – 451-acre) area of grassland on the slopes and hilltop. Rodborough Common, 116.0-hectare (287-acre), is just to the North of Minchinhampton Common and has some great views over the Stroud and the Severn Vale. Both of these commons are managed by the National Trust.
- Painswick Rococo Gardens were designed in the mid-1700s by Benjamin Hyett after he purchased the house in the 1730s. Rococo describes a period of art fashionable in Europe in the 1700s, identifiable particularly in furniture and architecture and the gardens at Painswick just outside Stroud in Gloucestershire are one of the only surviving examples open to the public. The gardens are open from late January until the end of October and also have a gift shop, plant sales and a cafe. The gardens also welcome well-behaved dogs.
