Painshill Park is a stunning day out in the Surrey Countryside, we hope you agree! What was your favourite part of the gardens or folly? We would like to find out in the comments so get in touch!
Thank you for taking the time to do a video with some history behined it. Painshill Park is truly stunning and not far away from me. Take a picnic on a beautiful day and do phone ahead to see if the grotto is open, it's absolutely beautiful. Sad you were unable to capture it on this video, perhaps next time, I think it's the highlight of the park
I really enjoy the historic details you use to animate the story (such as Catherine the Great's Wedgwood service.) Hamilton wouldn't be the only gentleman to spend his fortune on a landscape garden. It must be quite addictive once you get going. He did a marvelous job. Thanks.
Thanks Jeff, glad you enjoy how we present the videos. Always nice to know a bit about the back story. Painshill Park was a real surprise, so beautiful. I had no idea before visiting just how good it is. So right he did a superb job. So lucky places like this still exist!
What a treat to find this older video, from before I found your channel! Duck butts, belligerent swans, and all of the interesting history tidbits you shared made this tour a joy. 18th Century Landscape designers like Humphrey Repton, William Kent, and Capability Brown created wonderful private worlds for their patrons. A serpentine lake provided the look of a river where there wasn't one, with a new vista at every turn. Now everyone can enjoy these once private worlds, where Kings, Lords, and Ladies walked by exclusive invitation. I'm glad the structures have been rebuilt/restored, so we can understand Mr. Hamilton's vision. If I lived nearby, I'd be tempted to go all of the time and just walk for hours. :)
Another wonderful film with interesting accompanying commentary! It's as if I'm there myself, I think this way of filming is fantastic. I've seen a lot of them and watch them until I get tired, haha.
Hi Julia, yes was a lovely day, but true to form that nice weather disappeared before the weekend. We went to Hever Castle on Easter Friday and it hard to hold the camera, hands freezing it was so cold!
Hello Rosamond, so happy to hear your comment and that through our video you found a place to visit! It's what our channel is all about! We are pretty close too and had heard of it but never realised just how spectacular it is and the history!
An excellent video, I must revisit this place soon; I say revisit, as I first visited circa 1981 with my father, who's company was doing some restoration work on the Gothic Pavilion. My memories are quite vague, we were only there for one day to help some of his small team get the timber treatment works completed. I don't think the views of the lake were so evident then, I remember it being surrounded by woods, but I was only a teenager so not switched on to the more distant surroundings. I suspect the park refurbishment was only just beginning to be tackled. Fascinating to see this video, it's like discovering a distant memory that might have been a dream, that's proved to be a real place. I only found the place again after internet searching for a Gothic Pavilion near Cobham, that's all we had to go on after a vague discussion about times gone by and places once visited. You've got a new follower, thanks for your efforts.
Thank you for sharing your memories and connection to Painshill. Glad you managed to find it. A wonderful place for a visit, I do hope you make it there and see it again. Welcome to the channel, hope you enjoy some of our other videos!
Hi Christian, thanks for the lovely comment. Yes, the visuals are stunning and I think any camera will give a wow in the shots. For this trip we used a combination of a Canon M50 with various lens and a DJI Pocket 2 for the walking stability shots. All the kit we use is listed here, for your information. www.amazon.co.uk/shop/memoryseekers Hope that helps.

This was a rare bad egg ... bad in so many ways. Sorry, but it doesn't even come close to your own caliber. Thumb down. Sorry.
