Wistow Maze marks 200 years of modern railway

Available for over a year

A maze has been designed in the shape of a steam train to celebrate 200 years of modern railway. Wistow Maze in Leicestershire is redesigned each year into a different theme using GPS satellite technology, with last year's edition inspired by Team GB heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thompson. The eight-acre maze attracts more than 20,000 visitors each year, with visitors challenged to find 12 hidden quiz boards among three miles (4.8km) of pathways. Diana Brooks, owner of the maze, told Âé¶¹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman that the recent dry weather has proved a headache as they've prepared to open.
