Here are some photos from Mel's visit to the Ashcombe maze....a much less touristy attraction than initially thought. It was like walking around the courtyard of a palace from the 1800's...well, either that, or the grounds of the hotel where Jack Nicholson stayed in The Shining!

Below is the Hedge Maze for which the Gardens are famous--see what I mean about The Shining?

Below is a photo of one of the happy owners of the gardens...en route to do some trimming or hedging, or whatever you call it! It should be no surprise, from the beauty of his gardens, that he was such a happy and  friendly man, 

Below you can see just how tall that hedge maze really is!
