Painshill country park is a country park in surrey - The park has an entry fee of £10 but gives you lots of access to many different things around the site.
it is Said that the site back dates to the 18th century, on our visit to pains hill country park on November weekend we explored the grotto, abbey ruins & Mill also the small ice house.
The crystal grotto is naturally made and has been around at the park since 1700, it is said in 1940 the crystal grotto roof fell. In the late 2000's pains, hill county park got funding from the national lottery to restore the crystal grotto for visitors to see. The grotto is now open to the public and is included in the entry fee and worth the visit if you are ever in the country park
Also in pains hill country park, they have abbey ruins just off one of the heritage walks that you can go down to and explore - It is said in the 18th century the monks would use the abbey to produce wine from it - as the vineyard is next to the abbey ruins.
The mill that also lays on the heritage route backs dates to at least the 18th century but said it was abandoned the 1950s but was brought back to life via the trust back in the late '80s the mill was all man-made
there is so much i can keep saying about this amazing country park but its is now time for photos
