About

Nailsworth is a lively, artistic town full of surprises, nestling in a wooded valley and is renowned for its award-winning restaurants, pubs, cafes and other food outlets including a celebrated local bakery and food emporium, as well as some lovely, small independent shops.

Nailsworth has the largest number of working water wheels per square mile in the country. One of the focal points for artistic activities is Ruskin Mill which is set in organic gardens. Here you will also find an eight-mile cycle-way that follows the old railway line from Nailsworth to Stonehouse. To the north of Nailsworth, lays the mysterious and haunted Woodchester Mansion. In the east, is the Nailsworth Ladder leading to National Trust common land. Due south, the scenic route to Westonbirt, Badminton and Bath offers breathtaking views of the Severn Valley and Welsh Hills to the West. The Nailsworth Festival takes place annually at the end of April/early May with a programme of art and music events.
