Marlborough Maze, Garden labyrinth in West Oxfordshire, England.
Marlborough Maze is a large garden labyrinth made from thousands of yew trees spread across the grounds of Blenheim Palace. The winding paths are designed with specific patterns and include wooden bridges for viewing the overall layout.
The maze was designed to honor the first Duke of Marlborough and commemorate his military triumphs. The hedge patterns incorporate symbols such as cannons and drums that reference his battles and campaigns.
The two wooden bridges provide observation points where visitors can appreciate how the garden is laid out and find their way through the paths.
The maze is open daily and offers paths suitable for different experience levels and abilities. It is best to wear comfortable shoes and allow yourself enough time to explore the routes without rushing.
A dedicated gardening team performs extensive maintenance work each year to preserve the symbolic patterns and intricate hedge designs. This meticulous upkeep is necessary to keep all the detailed structures in their intended forms.
