On Thursday, 3rd May, IInd form Alton Convent girls visited the largest maze in Europe and the longest hedge maze - Longleat Hedge Maze. Made up of more than 16,000 English Yews, Longleat's spectacular hedge maze made everyone very confused and very lost. The Hedge Maze covers an area of around 1.48 acres (0.6 hectares) with a total pathway length of 1.69 miles (2.72 kilometres). Basically it's huge!

There are a few bridges that can help but can also make it more confusing (!) and in the middle there is a huge tower from which you can see the whole maze and try to work out how to get out! As everyone tried to escape some people who were clever enough to get out tried to help everyone else stuck in it. It was incredibly long and even the teachers couldn't figure it out!

After the famous hedge maze, we visited a mirror maze. Although this maze was tiny compared to our last maze - it could possibly be even more confusing! The aim was to find King Arthur's round table and sword etc, but it was really difficult just to make sure you didn't bump into yourself.

Eventually after we had managed to get out of this maze as well we set off back to home ­feeling very confused but ecstatic at the same time!
