Known as 'City of Troy', this is situated beside the road, on top of the Howardian Hills, approximately 13 miles north of York, between the villages of Brandsby and Dalby. Sometimes called the Skewsby maze because of its proximity to that village, it is approached by following the B1363 out of Brandsby as far as the crossroads. Turn right (signposted Dalby and Terrington) then sharp left. Continue for a mile or so, past a small wood on your right and you will see the maze surrounded by a low white wooden railing. The maze is 26 by 22 feet, of 'classical' design and maintained in excellent condition. It is the smallest turf maze in Europe.
