There is a turf labyrinth of a design similar to that atAlkborough in a secluded romantic spot on land formingpart of the estate of the Hulse family, to the rear of theirbeautiful country seat, Breamore House, Hants. It isknown as the Mizmaze, and consists of a grassy path 3 ft.in width, the overall diameter being 87 ft. The "goal"in the centre is 18 ft. in diameter, and forms a low mound.Every curved portion of the path is slightly inclined towardsthe centre of the maze, as if to afford a firmer footing74to runners. When the writer visited it in July 1920 thegrooves were rather overgrown, but the maze receivesperiodical attention from its owners, and is in no presentdanger of becoming obliterated. It lies in that sparselypopulated corner of Hampshire which protrudes intoWiltshire, between Salisbury and Cranborne Chase, andis somewhat difficult to discover without directions, as itis on a hilltop, and is surrounded by a thick copse, withmany other wooded hilltops in the neighbourhood. Inthe few references that have been made to it by writers,it has been variously described as being situated at Breamore,at Rockbourne, Hants, and at Wickdown Hill,Wilts. It is remote from the villages, but is best approachedfrom Breamore (pronounced Bremmer or Brimmer),which is on the main road from Fordingbridgeto Salisbury. From this village to Breamore House is apleasant twenty-minutes' walk, and thence through thebeautifully wooded and gently rolling grounds of theestate to the Mizmaze, a delightful half-hour's stroll. Itis advisable to seek precise directions before setting out,because the path through the woods disappears after awhile in a meadow, and the copse in which the maze isembedded appears at first impenetrable, having a narrowopening on one side only, on the side remote from thedirection of approach. A local tradition says that a mancould run from the maze to Gallows Hill, more than halfa mile distant, and back again, while another ran roundthe maze.
