Sold outThe story behind the design
17 rings and about a mile of path on the Common, printed on ivory or sage.
ONE WAY IN. SAME WAY OUT. you've already done both and you didn't even leave the Common.
the turf maze on Saffron Walden Common is the largest surviving turf maze of its kind in England — 17 rings and 4 horseshoe corner bastions cut into the grass, roughly 130ft across, with about a mile of path. it's unicursal: one route, no choices, no shortcuts, which is the most Saffron Walden thing imaginable. the whole front is that real maze drawn as a single unbroken line — start at the mouth, walk every ring and bastion, finish at the dot dead centre. the way out is the way in. suits us.
