Contact Details & Working Hours

Details

The Maze sit is at the heart of Dalby Forest (North Yorkshire, UK). Built by Mark Ellis and other local dry stone wallers, the maze will measure 80 x 80 metres, with walls 2m high and 1m wide at the base. The maze has been aligned with the sunrise on the Summer Solstice. Special stone features traditionally found in field and garden walls across the North Yorkshire Moors and Dales will be incorporated within the walls of the maze, to help or hinder the visitor on their journey to the goal. These will include features such as stone step stiles, squeeze stiles, smout holes, kissing gates, phantom gates and moon gates: a showcase of the waller’s craft.
