[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77649093, member: 628"] Beautiful aerial photos captured gardeners perfecting a maze of garden hedges at a Six-Century-old British castle. Pruners were hard at work trimming the box hedging around the medieval maze following wet weather at Bolton Castle, near Leyburn, North Yorkshire. The impressive stone labrynth was commissioned by Sir Richard le Scrope, Lord Chancellor of England to Richard II, and finished in 1399, reportedly at a cost of 18,000 marks. Today it remains in the private ownership of one of Sir Richard’s descendants, Thomas Peter Algar Orde-Powlett, the ninth Baron of Bolton. And the impressive gardens are now open to the public, with thousands flocking to the well-preserved estate each year, including its bowling green and rose arbor. The castle is also occasionally used as a filming location, with Channel 5’s ‘Anne Boleyn’ shot on its grounds back in 2021.
