|
|
I just finished reading Larry's Party by Carol Shields (which you should all go out and buy) and the main character becomes obsessed with hedge mazes after visiting the UK and walking through a famous one at Hampton Court.
Has anyone been to this hedge maze, or any others in the UK? |

| Its quite expensive though, about £8 for an adult - which we thought was a little bit pricey given all you are doing is walking round a selection of carefully trimmed trees! |

| Not exactly a hedge maze, but every year near York these guys create a 'Maize Maze'. http://www.yorkmaze.com/ |

Yeah, corn field mazes are big in the US too.
I have been to Hampton Court and I saw the maze but I didn't go through it.
(I don't do cornfield mazes either. ) _________________ Lee's Travel Guide

I do mazes, having popcorn helps.  _________________ A sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life--W.A. Ward |

I remember a fantastic hedge maze in Scarborough, up on the South cliff. I loved it as a child, but as with many memories from yesteryear it was torn down and replaced with housing or the like.  |
