About the Maze
Once a location visited by couples for its romantic atmosphere, the maze
changed over time and has been a favourite day out for children since
1973 and a great way to take part in many fun events. It is known to be
one of the biggest maze gardens in the North - East , stretching for over
4 acres, it gives visitors the opportunity to explore many of its features
like treasure hunting, walking through tunnels and secret doors and finding
many water fountains inside of it.
The maze offers access to people with disabilities as well and
provides those with vision disparities extra support to be able to walk
around.
Treasure hunting
The treasure hunting in the maze is one of our most popular events and takes
place every Saturday. It is a very fun and engaging activity where both children
and adults take place to uncover different items carefully hidden inside the maze
behind hidden doors and passages.
Treasures found in the maze can be kept
as souvenirs by the participants to be taken home. The entry to the event doesn't
require extra payment, just a maze ticket to enter. Visitors can only take part
once / week to the event.

Hidden secrets
When the Liverpool-Manchester line was nearing completion in 1829, a competition was held for locomotives; Stephenson's new engine, the Rocket, which he built with his son, Robert, won with a speed of 36 miles (58 km) per hour. Eight locomotives were used when the Liverpool-Manchester line opened on September 15, 1830, and all of them had been built in Stephenson's Newcastle works. From this time on, railroad building spread rapidly throughout Britain, Europe, and North America, and George Stephenson continued as the chief guide of the revolutionary transportation medium, solving problems of roadway construction, bridge design, and locomotive and rolling-stock manufacture.
