In celebration of Sir David Attenborough's 100th year, Leicestershire's famous Wistow Maze has this year been designed in the shape of a Mountain Gorilla. Visitors can find 12 quiz boards hidden amongst the 3 miles of pathways, featuring animals from his pioneering nature series, as well as interesting facts about this famous naturalist and broadcaster.
A great family day out, visitors can pit their wits against the giant 8-acre maize maze with its high-level bridges and towers and also take part in a variety of mini mazes and games in the Activity Funyard, which includes a space-hopper track, hoopla and a football shooting game.
With the Wistow Rural Centre opposite, consisting of a café, garden centre, model village and numerous shops, there is something for all ages. At the end of the season, the maze is harvested for cattle fodder and then redesigned the following Spring using GPS satellite technology.
Wistow Maze is a winner of Leicestershire's "Best Visitor Attraction" and attracts over 20,000 visitors each year.
