A-MAZE-ING Green Man!

The Green Man and gardens are a perfect marriage.  Penpont Gardens (http://www.penpont.com/page/gardens_and_grounds/) near Brecon, Wales has an amazing Green Man Maze!




Here's the description from their website: 

THE GREEN MAN MAZE

To celebrate the new millennium we commissioned a local artist, David Eveleigh, to construct a maze in the shape of The Green Man. It is the largest image of this significant pagan symbol in the world.
Designed over an underlying grid of sacred geometry it will take you on a journey along its beech and yew lined paths, passing pools, secret gardens, banks of scented lavender, sculptured benches, tunnels, an inner labyrinth and onwards... after many turns you discover the wishing stone in a wild flower garden... a maze fit for fairies to dream in.
David also choreographs spectacular firework displays: www.goffee.co.uk

To be redundant -- amazing!  Saving my pennies for a road trip!
