Things to Do

The historic Wing Maze is thought to be one of the last remaining turf mazes in England, dating back to Medieval times, and is therefore an important local feature for Rutland. 
It measures around 14 metres in diameter and consists of one single grass path which winds its way around and back on itself before ending its journey in the centre of the maze. 

It is a matter of controversy as to the exact use of or meaning of the Maze, but some believe that wrongdoers would be forced around the Maze on their hands and knees and made to repent for their actions.  The Leicester and Rutland Directory of 1846 has another explanation for its use though, claiming it as “an ancient maze, in which the rustics run at the parish feast”
