The creation of a maze took place at Brook Country Park
during Autumn 2010.
Children from Great Clacton Junior School and volunteers helped
to plant and mulch a total of approximately 900 hornbeam trees.
The maze is circular in shape and covers an area of approx
380m2. The centre of the maze is marked by a silver birch tree
surrounded by benches, which provide a well deserved resting place
for those who manage to find their way to the centre. The trees
planted in the maze are 90cm in height and it will take several
years for them to become established. Once fully grown, it is hoped
the maze will provide many hours of entertainment and fun for
visitors to the park.
