If you're up for a bit of an adventure, head over to this fantastic horticultural puzzle, found right by Bladon.
Known as the Marlborough Maze, it's a truly engaging experience that's perfect for families and anyone who enjoys a playful challenge. You'll navigate through a carefully designed labyrinth of yew hedges, stretching for miles, with the goal of reaching the central 'victory column' before finding your way out again. The design itself cleverly incorporates military symbols and motifs, reflecting some of the rich history of the grand estate it belongs to. It’s a lovely way to spend some time outdoors, offering both beauty and a mental workout.
This impressive maze was designed by Adrian Fisher and was planted in 1989, making it a relatively modern addition to the historic grounds. It’s a popular spot, especially on brighter days. Getting here is straightforward from Woodstock, which is very close, and also easily accessible from villages like Begbroke, Long Hanborough, and Church Hanborough. It provides a unique and enjoyable activity if you're exploring the area and looking for something a bit different to do.
