Alkborough Turf Maze

Alkborough turf maze is on a mysterious ancient site overlooking the convergence of the Humber and Trent close to interesting rural walks and sleepy villages.

Alkborough Turf Maze

At the very edge of the ridge, high above the river, is the turf maze known as Julian's Bower, believed to date from the medieval period. An image of the maze, first mentioned in 1697, can be seen in the stone floor of the oak porch of the parish church as well as in a window above the altar.

Close to the maze are earthworks thought to be of Roman origin.

From here there are excellent views across the confluence of the rivers Trent, Ouse and Humber.

Open daily, free admission.
