Idyllic Nailsworth



Nailsworth
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 passing through Nailsworth.

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.
