 🤫 A SECRET MAZE ADVENTURE 
Tucked away in the heart of Shefford, Bedfordshire, this delightful maze is a must-visit for families looking for budget-friendly fun.

🌳 ABOUT THE SHEFFORD HOO MAZE
Step into the enchanting world of Hoo Hill Maze, nestled within a secluded orchard on private grounds. Here, nature weaves its magic beyond the maze itself—wander through thoughtfully designed spaces where you can play games, unwind in serene corners, and immerse yourself in a landscape that evolves with a continual programme of creative planting.

😍 WHATSUPBEDS.COM EXPERIENCE

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by John, the owner, who shared fascinating stories about the house’s history. As we settled down for a Teddy Bear's Picnic with our grandchild, John serenaded us with his guitar, adding to the magical experience. 

It’s an enchanting escape that keeps everyone on their toes—you will get lost (but that’s half the fun)! You could spend half a day here wandering around in the quirky surroundings. There are random chairs which are dotted around in and around the maze—perfect for a quick rest if you need it! 

🌸 WHAT TO EXPECT 
Gardens: A stunning garden leading to the maze—perfect for a moment of tranquility before the challenge begins! 
🛝 Play areas: Playtime fun with toddler cars and slides to keep the little ones entertained. 
🥪 Picnic area with benches: Though seating is limited, so bringing a blanket is a great idea!
