Mizmaze

Think of the scrabble score for that word.

When I took this shot a number of people (well two actually) asked about the mizmaze.

The maze consists of a narrow groove cut into the turf, exposing the underlying chalk in places, forming a single, unbranched path that repeatedly loops back on and around itself within a square boundary. It is not a maze in the usual sense that you have to discover the correct path to the centre. Really It is a labyrinth that just makes you take a very roundabout route to get there. The path is narrow, only about one shoe-width in most places, making it necessary to place one foot quite carefully and unnaturally right in front of the other as you walk.

It is about 30m square so difficult to get shot of it all. This gives and an idea.

In the trees is the site of the medieval chapel of St Catherine.
