The Painshill landscape

 Created in the 18th century by Charles Hamilton as a living painting.  Walking around met a work of art and discovered dramatic follies, calming waters and stunning views.

This walk is a work of art.

Hatchlands Park

 Hatchlands Park was built in the 1750s for naval hero Admiral Edward Boscawen and his wife Frances. Since then it has housed wealthy families, a finishing school for girls and even a printing press. It is still a family home, containing tenant Alec Cobbe’s collection of paintings and fine furniture. Also on display is the Cobbe Collection, Europe’s largest collection of keyboard instruments associated with famous composers including JC Bach, Chopin and Elgar.
