Firstly, this is not a Maze. Don't travel here if you're expecting to walk around a hedge Maze. This is a labyrinth, and has no dead ends, currently you can not enter the enclosure to walk it. This is one of 8 turf mazes left in the uk, it is similar in design to the labyrinth found at Chartres cathedral in France and clearly has religious connections. These may generally have older connections to labyrinths mentioned in Cretan myth, supported by a plaque which used to be located in the centre of the Chartres cathedral's labyrinth before it was removed.
Nice wee medieval turf maze although it maybe Bronze Age. Which curiously one is not allowed to walk on! One of a handful of old turf mazes in the UK. Only eight in existence! Not strictly speaking a maze. As a maze has false paths. No, in actuality, this is a Labyrinth as has only one path that twists into the central space.
It's kind of fun but this is not a maze you could ever get lost in as its all grass height so you can simply walk out. Not that you are supposed to walk in it anyway!
One of only 8 historic turf mazes in England. If you're expecting Hampton Court Maze, you'll be disappointed; turf mazes are modest in size but of great historic interest. This one is medieval and resembles one at Chartres cathedral though probably not a direct copy. Unfortunately it's fenced off so it's not clear if walking round it is allowed. NOT appropriate for a day out, just a view on the way to somewhere else . There's a good modern one not that far away at Lyvedon New Bield NT created by mowing on top of the lost original, which you can walk, and other activities plus a tea room.
Very disapointed I have driven all the way from leicester on the bank holiday to come and see this maze and I am tottaly let down by its shabiness and utter lack of appeal. If you are planning on visiting this maze then I realy suggest that you dont as its far from a maze just a bit of mowed grass behind a white fence.a
It doesn't close, but you are requested not to walk it. To preserve the labyrinth
A well kept small local attraction with loads of history. Don't expect to make a full day of it.
It's a few hundred years old and still looking good. Well done, Wing People.
Blink and you miss it. Read the information board for some interesting facts and history.
Fascinating piece of history. Small in scale but not significance.
