Today we enjoy some autumn colours as we take a scenic drive through the beautiful Surrey Hills and visit Painshill Gardens. Painshill is an award-winning 18th century landscape garden created by Charles Hamilton as a living painting. Painshill is one of the best places in Surrey to enjoy the autumn colours. Winding paths will take you on a journey to discover a living canvas with dramatically placed buildings and beautiful views. Stroll around the Serpentine Lake, enter the Crystal Grotto and wander through woodland, passing fo lies including the Ruined Abbey, Gothic Temple and Turkish Tent. There is a Visitor Centre, Tea Room and Garden Shop. We end the day with an included traditional cream tea of warm homemade scones served with clotted cream and jam with freshly brewed tea or filter coffee.

Please note: The paths around Painshill Gardens are uneven and steep in places, suitable footwear and clothing is recommended. There is an accessible route round part of the gardens which gives access to the Crystal Grotto. Please state any dietary requests at time of booking.
