The Royal Windsor Maze

Highlight • Structure

This maze, made in 1999 and seen here with Windsor Castle in the background, uses a special tiling system. The paths through the grass are brick, but on the way to the centre, there are pictures of chess pieces. These are made up of seven-sided pavers invented by the designer of the maze, Adrian Fisher. With halved versions of the main shape (these have five sides) and small squares, the system tessellates (fits together without gaps) in many different ways. This allows images and decorative patterns to be made without cutting the pavers.

Windsor Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest occupied castle in the world - it's home to The King and over 900 years of royal history.
Founded by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, it has since been the home of 39 monarchs.

The Castle itself is at the top of a steep hill, but it's visible from the road so you can get a sneaky peak as you roll past on the bike!
