Brilliant brilliant little diversion. I'm so please we followed the sign from on our way to Barry Island and discovered this hedge maze. There's a maze (30 mins) a little museum-wall about mazes (10 mins, a few games are there), mini golf, a cafe serving lunch and ice creams, lots of picnic seating, the butterfly farm and next door is the camping area with an arcade and inflatables park.
The maze is the best bit though. It's well-kept and the life's work of 2 brothers who had this wacky idea in 1977. Sleeping a shed for 3 years they made this hedgerow maze.

We really enjoyed our time in the maze and played some great games including Marc/Polo and tag. The crazy golf was great fun and a brilliant addition. The butterfly zoo is outstanding and spectacular. I would highly recommend you go here,our 9 year old Son had such a great time he has asked to go back. This really is a great place to go and is great for some good old...
