Explore Worden Park's maze or ‘puzzle garden’ which consists of over half a mile of hornbeam hedges with a central lime tree. There are three false entrances making even finding your way into the maze a challenge for unfamiliar visitors.   

The Formal Gardens and Maze were laid out in the 1850s to the designs of William Andrews Nesfield, a prominent landscape architect of the time. 

The walled garden was built in 1777-8 as a kitchen garden to grow fruit, veg and cut flowers for the Hall.  It encloses an area of around 1 acre. Today the walled garden is managed and maintained by the Brothers of Charity Services who provide care and training for people with disabilities.  The walled garden used user for gardening training and is open to the public to walk round.
