An area renowned for its award winning restaurants, cafes, boutiques
and idyllic views. The beautiful scenic town of Nailsworth, set in the heart of
the Cotswold's, near where we currently reside.
We have assembled our list of favourite places to visit.
The Canteen.
Situated in the heart of Nailsworth, but out of the way of the
hustle and bustle, The Canteen is perfect for a quick getaway. From cappuccinos
to an array of various treats (it’s a must to sample one those) to healthy
salads, The Canteen offers it all. Located next to Domestic Science, you can
have a catch up with friends then have a little peak at the amazing nik naks
and furniture you will find in Domestic Science.
Domestic Science.
If you’re looking for something a little different, vintage
furnishings for your home or for a birthday, anniversary or a gift then
Domestic Science can offer all this. If you are stuck for ideas, what you think
you may never find may well be in there. Even things you didn’t even know about
that existed (happened to me…). They are also a stockist of the Annie Sloane
Chalk Paint for any budding DIY’ers out there.

Williams Food Hall.
Williams Food Hall dates back to 1975 by William and Rae Beeston
and is responsible for putting Nailsworth on the map for foodies like myself, even Jack Straw said ‘I’ve been told I must stop by
William’s Kitchen’ Offering fresh fish,
delicatessen, restaurant and catering, William’s does it all, and does it well.
Now owned by Ed and Helen Playne since 2014, it really is a must see if you are

Woodchester Mansion.
Woodchester Mansion is totally unique; this is because it is
unfinished. However a walk around the ground unveils hundreds of years of
history and it really is a great place for a family walk or for dog walkers.
You can choose how long you walk for and each walk will take you past various
attractions. Each season is so different so whenever you walk is always
magical. In 1750 Frederick Prince of Wales
stayed there and in 1788 King George III visited.
