Maze of the Week #69 - Bodiam Castle Maze

April 24, 2023

Maze of the week #69 gives us our second castle from England with the Bodiam Castle (check out MoTW #64 - Leeds Castle). And this castle has a moat ! You can plan your visit on this website, or use the castle website to learn about the history of the castle from it’s initial building in 1385.

The Maze: I went with black and white, which may have been a mistake since you can’t tell there is a moat ! I could color it in the future.

And now that we got all of that out of the way…I changed the maze to improve it and made that into a case study. You can read all about that here (if this is day 1 of this blog post, April 24 it will not yet be visible - come back tomorrow to read all about it - it is worth it !)

Maze of the Week #64 - Leeds Castle Maze

March 20, 2023

I have always wanted to do a castle maze and Maze of the week #64 does just that with the Leeds Castle Maze located in Kent, England. It will not be the last castle I maze this year ! While a castle was first built on the site in 857, the look has changed many times of the centuries. In fact there is a YouTube video showing just how it has changed during the years:

Maze of the Week #43 - Castle Craig Maze

October 24, 2022

I said maze of the week #43 would be a castle, and it is sort of. More of a castle tower that is called a tower. The Castle Craig is located in Hubbard Park in Meriden, Connecticut and was dedicated on October 29, 1900. The castle is only 32 feet high, so taking the stairs to the observation deck is a short climb. You can check out the view in the video below, or read about the castle on the Wikipedia page.

The maze: I went with a basic black and white draw and cut construction. Honestly, if the castle was more famous I would colorize it, add to the background with some land, rock formations and a sky, and add some shadows to the castle.

I hope you enjoy the maze. Download is available on the mazes permanent maze page.

Coming next week:

A maze to celebrate a holiday !
