PEACE MAZE The Peace Maze is located within Castlewellan Forest Park, Co. Down, Northern Ireland. It was created in 1998-2000, in recognition of the signing of the Good Friday peace agreement in the province. It has been recognised as the largest permanent hedge maze in the world. The design represents the long and tortuous journey to peace and was developed from designs submitted by 4000 school children from throughout Northern Ireland. The project was the brainchild of Beverley Lear, a landscape architect and anthropologist, and was made possible through the sponsorship of the European Peace and Reconciliation Fund and the support of the NI. Department of Agriculture & Rural Affairs. The Maze is open to visitors everyday.
