Armed with brochures, I went back to Hampton Court Palace today. They have a "world-famous" maze I walked through first. Not really worth the £3.50/42kr in my opinion, but the school-kids that was there seemed to love it.
The gardens impressed me more, especially the Great Fountain Garden with a lot of great topiary (artificially shaped) trees. The lawns were so English; Very, very green and cut so short they almost seemed like carpets.
Walking on them was another story, I really had to concentrate to avoid what for a second I thought were dog turds. With no dogs around though, it didn't take me long to figure that the real perpetrators where the large groups of ducks and geese you could see all over the place.
Fooled by not looking at the map closely enough, I ended up doing the gardens in the way suggested to do the maze, keeping to the right at all times. I never found a way around the palace, and finally ended up leaving the way I came in. This being not the smallest of gardens, I felt justified to call it a day.
