Resurfacing Cliveden's maze

About Resurfacing Cliveden's maze

Covering almost a third of an acre, the first maze at Cliveden was installed by Lord Astor in 1894, and a design based on that original maze was reinstated from 2009 to 2011. It’s one of Cliveden’s highlights for visitors young and old, but the myriad pathways are in need of some TLC to keep them at their best.
You’ll join our maintenance team to tackle the 500 metres of paths that make up the maze. Created from over 1,000 metres of steel edging and 120 tonnes of gravel, all bordered by two-metre tall yew tree hedges, it’s seriously impressive stuff, and you’ll be helping to make the maze amazing again.
