Painshill, English garden in Cobham, United Kingdom

The 158-acre landscape garden contains a lake, Gothic Temple, vineyards, and walking paths across varied natural terrains and structured gardens.

Charles Hamilton designed and constructed Painshill between 1738 and 1773 as part of the English Landscape Movement during the Georgian era.

The garden represents a shift in English landscaping philosophy, moving from formal geometric patterns to naturalistic designs that complement the existing terrain.

Visitors can access the gardens daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with guided tours available to explore the restored Crystal Grotto and Gothic structures.

The Crystal Grotto features hundreds of crystals and mirrors creating light effects on the ceiling of an artificial cave system with water features.
