    Tips

    March 8, 2021

    Julian's Bower is a well preserved example of a turf maze, its sunken form demonstrating its great age. It has been suggested that the maze was cut by Spalding Priory before 1220, and thus predates the pavement maze in Chartres Cathedral. It is one of the few surviving turf mazes believed to be medieval in origin.

      Nice little quaint area where you can see the turf maze and sit down and appreciate the views.
