About The Great Ryedale Maze

The Great Ryedale Maze is a proper corn maze near Malton that opens seasonally and changes design each year - think of it as a fresh challenge every time you visit. You're basically let loose in a field with high walls of corn or maize, armed with a map (though some visitors ignore it entirely and just blunder about, which is half the fun). It takes most families between 45 minutes to two hours to find all the checkpoints and reach the centre, depending on how directionally aware you are. The whole thing plays well if you're staying at one of the local glamping sites - Wolds Walk, Lahtle Wood, or Yorkshire Wolds are all within a few miles - and it's the sort of activity that kids genuinely enjoy rather than tolerate. Not a massive time commitment, but oddly satisfying when you finally crack it. Go in summer or early autumn when the crops are properly tall; going in late season when the mazes are getting battered is a bit pointless. It's the kind of thing that works as part of a broader day out in the area rather than a standalone trip, but it beats sitting in another museum or stately home. Free or cheap entry most likely, though you'd want to ring ahead or check their website before driving out from Vale of Pickering or elsewhere.
