Exercise 2
Answer questions 1-10 by referring to the article below. Choose from the list of places (A-D) for each
question.
ENGLISH MAZES
There's nothing the British like more than to go and get lost. In grand gardens of stately
homes and castles around Britain you'll find some of the world's oldest and largest hedge mazes.
These elegant horticultural labyrinths have been playfully confusing visitors for hundreds of years.
This historical fascination is being fuelled by a boom in creating new mazes. Britain now has
mazes of turf, water, brick, stone, wood, colored paving tiles, mirrors and glass.
A. HAMPTON COURT
Any exploration of the twists and turns of British mazes should include the oldest and most
famous. The classic maze at Hampton Court Royal Palace by the Thames in West London was planted
more than 300 years ago during the reign of King William III. He dug up an old orchard planted by
Henry VIII and redesigned the garden in the formal style of the time.
The 1702 Maze is the only remaining part of William's garden. It's Britain's oldest hedge maze
with winding paths amounting to nearly half a mile and covering a third of an acre. One of Jerome K.
Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" declared it "very simple...it's absurd to call it a maze," only to
become completely lost. Inside he met other visitors "who had given up all hope of ever seeing their
home and friends again."
The Hampton Court maze still swallows 300,000 people a year. If you do manage to get out,
there are also exquisite riverside gardens and the fabulous Tudor palace to see.
B. LONGLEAT
Another great estate 100 miles to the west has become one of the centers of British maze-
making. A visit to Longleat in Wiltshire includes the ancestral stately home of Lord Bath, Capability
Brown landscaped gardens, and a drive-through animal safari park… plus six mazes.
The newest of them, The Blue Peter Maze was built of timber especially for children. It was
designed by a nine-year-old girl who beat 12,000 entrants in a competition run by a children's TV
program.
Other Longleat mazes include the indoor King Arthur's Mirror Maze, the rose-covered Love
Labyrinth, and the intertwining Sun Maze and Lunar box hedge labyrinths.
Serious maze enthusiasts are catered to by the grand Hedge Maze: it has the world's longest
total path length at 1.69 miles. The hedges are made from 16,180 yew trees and are laid out in
curves to disorient the walker. It opened 26 years ago and is so complex that special 'lift if lost'
direction panels are incorporated to help you find the way out.
C. JUBILEE PARK
If you're starting to get the taste for delightful disorientation, the third must-see site is the eccentric
Jubilee Park close to the border with Wales near Symonds Yat in Herefordshire.
Maze-mad brothers Lindsay and Edward Heyes planted The Amazing Hedge Puzzle Maze to
commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee in 1977. It stands in an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty in the Wye Valley and is now Herefordshire's most popular private visitor attraction. The
octagonal cypress maze has a pagoda at the center - if you can find it. There's also a route from the

IGCSE – ENGLISH AS SECOND LANGUAGE (EOT EXAM) Page | 6

center to the world's first Maze Museum. This has hands-on interactive displays and puzzles
explaining the history, design and construction of mazes around the world.
Lindsay is the creator of the museum and an acknowledged maze expert. Edward meanwhile
takes care of the Hedge Maze, personally spending ten weeks doing all the trimming every year.
D. HEVER CASTLE
You don't have to be crazy about mazes to enjoy the spectacular Hever Castle in Kent. From
the outside, the 13th-century double-moated fortress has changed little since Henry VIII's second
wife Anne Boleyn spent her childhood here. The castle is set in 30 acres of magnificent gardens. A
century ago the wealthy Astor family lived here and planted a yew maze, which visitors can still
explore. A more recent addition is the highly acclaimed Water Maze on a shallow lake with an island
at the center.
The walkways are made up of curved paths supported above the water on stilts. To make getting to
the island even more difficult, some slabs, when stepped on, trigger a spray of water. Can you reach
the island AND stay dry?

In which places (A-D):

_____ 1. Does a member of the aristocracy still live?
_____ 2. Is there a maze that was made to mark a special occasion?
_____ 3. Does the creator personally take care of the maze?
_____ 4. Is there a maze that was ridiculed - before getting its revenge?
_____ 5. Is there a maze created by the youngest person?
_____ 6. Could tackling the maze prove a damp experience?
_____ 7. Did a rich family create a maze?
_____ 8. Is there a maze that a newlywed couple would perhaps like to visit?
_____ 9. Does the maze include maps showing you how to get out?
_____ 10. Would you see yourself getting lost in the maze?
