Slow Ways linking Painswick and Brockworth, Cirencester, Colesbourne, Gloucester, Stroud

Painswick’s five Slow Ways are 40% checked
Help connect Painswick
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Painswick’s Slow Ways.

However, the gpx file for this walk does not reflect reality on the ground. However, this track does not reflect reality on the ground and is misleading....

I was trying to get back up onto the Cotswold Way on Cooper's Hill behind. Some of this was muddy and difficult but the path was marked and you start to rise up through a field, onto Cooper's Hill. You go up through trees to Kite's hill where the ground opens out for Painswick Golf course where you are walking along a ridge really, an odd mix of iron age undulations and golf bunkers. The clear track starts to drop down and veer away left, still alongside the golf course as you reach a small cross road and the path then takes you down into woods past a small quarry. Then, finally, you start to come into Painswick after one more cross of the golf course, probably the 18th. The track goes down now towards the right (Golf Course road) into a T junction with the B4073 and some views south. Turn left then you are coming past houses (Cotswold stone), keep following the road that goes straight down the hill until you reach the main road (our old friend the busy A46) and there is a right turn to follow it down the main street to the big church, shops, a couple of pubs and the bus stop....

Beautiful route through fields and small lanes from Stroud to Painswick. Mostly flat and easy going with excellent waymarking. There are multiple stiles and a narrow footbridge....
jbeesley25
A really straightforward route to follow, more or less straight path with lots of signs....
Karen Phimister
Not too muddy after rain but higher than usual number of styles and ‘kissing gates’, Also a couple of steps/bridges over streams. Coffee shop in the town of Painswick at the end!...
Anita Damsell
With regard to its accessibility, the route crosses the course of a small stream and includes stiles and several narrow foot bridges....
