Our view
"Explore a classic Avon Valley estate and its ancient and mysterious maze."
Walk directions
Start walk by Breamore Primary School, walk along the main road to the lane on your left, signed to Breamore House, opposite Hulse Hall. When the road bears left go right, signed for Breamore House, and continue up the lane to a T-junction. Take the driveway opposite and then bear right at the gate to Breamore House, to visit the church of St Mary’s.
After visiting the church, walk back through the churchyard and take the bridleway on your right, walking back to the gates of Breamore House (press button to open gates) and up the drive towards the house. Pass the house and keep ahead, leaving the stables on your right as you ascend the track into Breamore Wood. Keep to the main path as it curves right, then left (by a fingerpost) soon after leaving the trees at the crest of the hill. Bear left at a fork on the edge of rough grassland and keep ahead along a permissive path as far as a sign to the Miz Maze.
