Marlborough Maze, Garden labyrinth in West Oxfordshire, England.
The Marlborough Maze spans 1.8 acres with over 3,000 yew trees forming intricate pathways across the Blenheim Palace grounds.
The labyrinth design honors the first Duke of Marlborough through military symbols including cannons, drums, and flags commemorating his battlefield victories.
Two wooden bridges within the maze provide visitors observation points to understand the garden design while assisting with navigation.
The maze remains open daily from 9 AM to 6 PM, with exploration typically requiring 30 to 40 minutes to complete the two-mile path.
Each year, a team of six gardeners dedicates an entire week to pruning and maintaining the maze's symbolic patterns and detailed hedge formations.
