The maze at Longleat is part of the 8000 acre Wiltshire estate owned by the late Marques of Bath. The estate also includes the renowned safari park, historic house and gardens by the famous Capability Brown.
The 1.69 acre maze - the largest in Britain - was planted in 1975 with over 16 thousand yew trees - a fitting site for a timber structure.
