ThingsToDoA hedge maze with clues to solve / BOURTON-ON-THE-WATER
The Dragonfly Maze
Follow the winding hedge paths and look for clues that help reveal the maze’s central secret. This suits visitors who enjoy working out a puzzle together, rather than simply racing to an exit. It is a short outdoor addition near Birdland when the maze is open and a same-day slot is available.
Check the operator’s latest notice before relying on a visit, especially on a Tuesday. Opening information currently differs between its pages, and a dated temporary-closure message remains visible. Keep the river walk or museum as an alternative.
The practical details
- Where to find it
- Rissington Road, Bourton-on-the-Water GL54 2BN
Directions and arrival information ↗ - Tickets and booking
- Tickets or timed slots are sold only at the kiosk on the day; there is no online or telephone booking. A later same-day slot may be possible while spaces remain. Opening is weather dependent, so confirm the current day and avoid making a tightly timed onward booking.
- Access and getting around
- The local visitor information service identifies narrow paths that are not wheelchair accessible. Ask the operator about walking aids and your group’s needs before visiting; do not assume the neighbouring Birdland access arrangements apply here.
Official access information ↗ - Visiting with children
- Choose this for children who enjoy a shared puzzle and can manage narrow outdoor paths. Stay together, help with reading clues and agree that solving everything is optional. Check buggy arrangements directly before joining a queue.
