Painshill Park is an 18th‑century landscape garden near Cobham in Surrey, brought to life by designer Charles Hamilton as a living canvas of rolling meadows, serpentine lakes and theatrical follies. Its most famous features—the Crystal Grotto, the Water Wheel, and a procession of temple promenades—were laid out to surprise, enchant and inspire visitors with theatrical scenery in nature. Today the park retains a tranquil, almost painterly atmosphere, especially in spring and autumn when colors shift with the light and the paths invite contemplative strolls. Because of its cinematic grandeur, Painshill has become a beloved filming location, notably hosting Bridgerton scenes that linger in the grotto and among the classical ruins.
