Why see it?
It’s pretty famous
‘It is the most famous Maze in the history of the world, and immeasurably the one most visited.’
(Ernest Law, 1926)
A literary setting
The Maze in Three Men in a Boat
‘We’ll just go in here, so that you can say you’ve been, but it’s very simple. It’s absurd to call it a maze. You keep on taking the first turning to the right. We’ll just walk around for ten minutes, and then go and get some lunch.’
So said Harris, from Jerome K. Jerome’s Three Men in a Boat (1889). The tourists he led into the Maze subsequently got lost for hours.
