Mind Games: 18 Garden Mazes and Labyrinths

Composed of more than 16,000 English yews, the Longleat Hedge Maze, located near the town of Warminster in Wiltshire, England, is a stunning creation that was first laid out in 1975 by the renowned designer Greg Bright. 

This impressive hedgerow maze is located behind the Governor's Palace in Colonial Williamsburg and is popular with children who like to get lost within its 6-foot tall walls. 

Modeled on the famous maze at the Hampton Court Palace, the Governor's Palace maze in Colonial Williamsburg was restored in 1999-2000 with yaupon holly replacing the less vigorous American holly.

Every year the Davis Mega Maze in Sterling, Massachusetts presents a different theme with its corn maze. This past year the elaborate design by Adrian Fisher was based on the popular board game Clue and required participants solve a number of mysteries and puzzles while moving through the maze.
