How to find us

Finding Us

 

For SATNAV Users:

Enter the postcode GL6 6NF.

 

From Gloucester:

 

  • Take the Stroud Road (A4173) uphill, passing Edge Church.

  • Turn LEFT onto Edge Lane/Road and continue for half a mile.

  • Drive through a tunnel of trees, then turn immediately LEFT onto our gravel driveway.

  • Remember, if you find yourself going uphill again, you've missed us! We're nestled at the bottom of the valley.

Note: Our gate is labeled "UPPER DOREYS MILL," not Shadyplants.com. Please avoid disturbing our neighbors at "The Doreys."

 

From the North:

 

  • Exit the M5 at Junction 11A, staying in the left lane.

  • At the roundabout, take the third exit towards Stroud on the A46.

  • In Painswick village, you'll see the church on your left and the Falcon Hotel on your right. About 50 yards further, turn right onto Edge Road/Lane.

  • Continue to the bottom of the hill for half a mile, then turn RIGHT into the gravel drive marked "UPPER DOREYS MILL."

  • Please do not turn LEFT onto the tarmac drive marked "Washbrook Mill/Farm."

  • If you start ascending the hill, you've passed us. We are located in the valley's bottom, near the stream. Follow the gravel drive to the house, where parking is available.

 

We look forward to your visit!
