About

This summer, visitors to Painshill in Cobham can enjoy a unique walk through words and nature thanks to a new poetry trail created by Painshill's first Poet-in-Residence, Nia Broomhall, in collaboration with the local community.

Opening on 19 July, Find what you find is a trail of 25 enchanting poems displayed at 25 locations across the 18th century landscape, giving visitors an opportunity to experience Painshill in new and inspiring ways.
With echoes of Charles Hamilton (1704-1786) – who designed Painshill to evoke the emotions of 18th century visitors – the new Poetry Trail has been developed to foster feelings of wellbeing today.
