Beat the Maze at Stansted Park, Havant, Portsmouth
Stansted Park is one of those places that is a series of mini-adventures: an elegant house to explore, expansive parkland to discover and beautiful gardens with a miniature railway, mini golf course, a circular hedge maze and The Stansted Park Play Area.
Stansted Park
Stansted Park has about 1,200 acres of parkland, with ancient woodland and an arboretum of beautiful, mature trees for you to explore.
We didn’t visit the house but understand it has state rooms and servants’ quarters laid out as if they were still in use.
You only pay for the attractions you actually use.
The play area, arboretum and parkland are all free but the house, the maze and the railway all have individual costs.
Stansted Park Miniature Railway
The miniature railway rumbles around the gardens
past engine sheds and back to the cute little station, complete with signals, water tower and platform.
The trains only run at certain times and on certain days so be sure to check the website before you go.
Stansted Park Play Area
Inside the Walled Garden is The Stansted Park Play Area, a well equipped play area where the children can play while you eat. It has swings, slides, rope bridges and a multiplay.
The Hedge Maze
The circular, hedge maze is a family attraction. It opens at various times of the year, weather permitting, so double-check before you visit.
