Amazing Maze
Designed by Adrian Fisher, a world leader in his field, the Escot maze was built in 2004 chiefly by estate staff using over 4,000 beech plants. Beech was chosen because of the way it mirrors the changing seasons: the maze is as beautiful in its warm winter brown coat as it is in its bright green dress in spring. With its flying bridges and route-changing switch gates, the puzzle is harder than it looks. Allow at least half an hour!
In the Coach House courtyard are brain teasers to whet the appetite. And finger mazes can be found in the walled garden and the birds of prey field.
For those who love a real challenge, try Escot letterboxing, a kind of treasure hunt in the gardens with a certificate for everyone who finds all the clues. Then there's the Nature quiz and much, much more.
