Another view in 1998 with the new trees of the Holly Walk in the middle distance.
By 1998 the hedge is about 5 feet high and our target height of 6 feet was only a year or two away.
Each cut, which is done by hand, takes 20 days.

THE MAZE
The pleasure of a maze is for you to compete,
Only pass through this gate if you wish to cheat
The route from here is out of sight,
what you must do is choose, left or right.
The path to the centre could be a quarter mile,
but there in the middle are seats, box and camomile.
On fair weather days, when the sun doth shine
the Armillary Sphere will reveal the time.
Take care on your journey, no need to run,
prickles are sharp on Ilex Aquifolium!
