Breamore Mizmaze, Hampshire, United Kingdom

The Breamore mizmaze is one of eight remaining ancient turf labyrinths in England. The first record of the mizmaze is in 1783, but it is thought to be much older than that. It is of a circular design, a labyrinth cut into quarters by a Christian cross.

Beautiful scheduled spot, that seems a very magical spot when you think of the 800 years of history and people that visited the site. Only wish you could do the maze.

Great for a walk if you are in the area.Not really much to look at but something to head for if you fancy a bit of exercise.The plaque there says something about related sites in Italy and France which is kind of the most interesting thing there.There is a new bench and sign which I think has been put up by a local farmer.I think it relates to someone who used to walk there a lot possibly with his dog.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
