       Swindon's Amazing Ma^^

       The Great Western Maze is a 7 acre maze carved from
       a living maize crop set in the glorious No rth
       Wiltshire countryside.
       The allure of a maze crosses all boundaries; the appeal to
       children of being outside with a huge puzzle to solve is
       equally enjoyed by adults.
       The notion that it is fine to be lost with the absolute
       certainty that you will be victorious is a great, good
       feeling. But that does fully explain the mystery of the
       maze, the courtyard with its world class puzzles and
       games adds to the equation, but still there's a missing
       ingredient.
                            Maybe it's the people that come to the maze?   Opening times: 1 Oam - 6pm
                            Everyone of them is pre-disposed to have       • Daily from 11 July to 7 September
