Julian Bower is a great example of a well preserved turf maze with its sunken form demonstrating its great age. It is thought that the maze was cut by Spalding Priory before 1220. It is one of few surviving turf mazed believed to be from the medieval period.

Set in a converted barn The Paddocks Tearoom offers delicious home cooked snacks, farmhouse lunches and freshly baked cakes all prepared on the premises. It's a small tea room, but very popular, so if you're part of a larger group give them a call to pre-book on 01724 721642.

December 15, 2022, View of Alkborough Flats

Alkborough Flats was first flooded in 2006. It is designed to provide a place to store flood water during extreme weather and create a new habitat for wildlife. It has quickly become a massive reedbed with extensive areas of wet grassland, supporting a huge variety of birdlife.
