Couple Recreate Maze From Anne Boleyn Castle In Their Back Garden | Hever Castle Maze

The couple recreates the labyrinth from Anne Boleyn Castle in the back garden of their three-bed semi-detached house.

For most gardeners trimming the hedge takes a couple of hours at most.

But for Richard Bushby, it lasts all week – after he grew a full-size maze behind his three-bed semi.

The 85 sq ft creation is based on the yew maze at Hever Castle in Kent – the childhood home of Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn. It features 750 leylandii trees and has 16 tons of gravel on a quarter of a mile of pathways.

Mr. Bushby – whose surname is apt for his creation – used to run a commercial nursery on the two-acre site which is now his spectacular garden. He laid out the design and finished planting the fast-growing trees in the late 1990s with the help of his wife Sandra. He said: 'They're now about 7ft tall. They're solid and shaped so it's not too bad to maintain. It only gets trimmed once a year in July.
