Where to Go… to Pit Your Wits Against a Maze
If you’re like me and love a good puzzle, consider pitting your wits against a maze.
So far we have tried two types – classic hedge mazes and also a water maze where the dead ends are jets of water.
Here are four maze adventures for you to try and all are minotaur-free… promise!
Brave the Water Maze at Hever Castle, Near Tonbridge
Hever Castle doesn’t just have one maze, it has two – a hedge maze and an ingenious water maze!
The hedge maze is a classic-style maze and took us about ten minutes of wandering around to solve.
The water maze is ingenious. Your task is to reach the centre whilst dodging the jets of water that suddenly erupt if you step on the wrong stone.
Try the Spooky Maize Maze at the Pumpkin Picking Patch, Fordingbridge
During October, Fordingbridge Pumpkin Picking Patch is full of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes and also a Halloween Maize Maze. Daytimes are child friendly but things become more spooky at night in the Twighlight Maze…
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 hedge maze and The Stansted Park Play Area.
The circular, hedge maze is a family attraction. It opens at various times of the year, weather permitting, so double-check before you visit.
Go on an Action-Packed Safari at Longleat, Warminster
Longleat is fantastic – one of the best days out I’ve had with children. We had an action-packed day full of fun, adventure and wonder, during which we hand-fed beautiful animals, safaried by land and water and conquered a huge hedge maze with over a mile and a half of twists and turns to navigate.
Let’s have an adventure…
