The Saxon Maze at Herb Farm is located on a family-run farm in Hampshire, UK. Specializing in herb cultivation, the maze serves as the farm’s main attraction, appealing to visitors who love nature and exploration.
The maze uses various aromatic plants as barriers, including rosemary, lavender, sage, and thyme. Standing about 1.5 meters tall, these plants form winding paths. The design includes multiple junctions and looping passages, and first-time visitors typically take 20 to 40 minutes to find the exit. A wooden gazebo at the center of the maze offers a resting spot where visitors can enjoy the fragrance of surrounding herbs.
The farm grows over 20 herb varieties. Besides those used for the maze barriers, paths are lined with mint, basil, oregano, and more. During summer blooming seasons, the purple of lavender and pale blue of rosemary mix with greenery, creating a colorful scene. Even outside bloom times, herb leaves release strong scents—visitors can smell fresh aromas when touching the foliage.
Facilities are simple and functional. The visitor center at the entrance provides maze maps and herb guide brochures. A herb shop beside the maze sells freshly picked herbs, herbal teas, handmade soaps, and other products. The farm café serves herb-themed snacks like lavender cookies and rosemary toast, allowing visitors to taste unique treats.
This maze suits family outings, where children can learn about different herbs while exploring. It’s also ideal for friends or couples to stroll and enjoy natural scents and rural views. The flat paths accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. Without fancy decorations, it features natural plants and simple path designs, letting visitors relax and experience the peace and joy of a countryside farm.
