Its twisting paths evoke tales of Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine and Rosamund Clifford, adding an element of romance to its already beguiling allure. However, not all encounters with they are purely whimsical.

Yet amidst tragedy lies transformation - G. H Davis's imaginative reimagining of tube stations into mind-bending mazes breathes new life into familiar spaces. These artistic creations merge history with modernity while challenging our perception of reality. Nature too boasts its own majestic maze at Kings Canyon in Watarrka National Park. As you navigate through towering cliffs and winding trails, this natural wonder reminds us that sometimes getting lost leads us closer to finding ourselves.
