The Peace Maze, Castlewellan Forest Park is a unique outdoor attraction set within the park’s beautiful woodland. Designed as a living symbol of peace and reconciliation, it features over 6,000 yew trees forming a large, walkable labyrinth. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking for a quiet, reflective walk with a sense of adventure.

Parking is available at Castlewellan Forest Park, and the paths through the maze are mostly level but can be uneven in places, so comfortable shoes are recommended. The maze can take 20–40 minutes to complete depending on your pace, and there are plenty of spots along the way to pause and enjoy the surrounding forest scenery.

Facilities at the park include toilets, a café, picnic areas, and walking trails, but the maze itself is outdoors with no additional amenities inside, so bring water, layers, and snacks if needed. Dogs are allowed on leads throughout the park but not inside the maze if it’s busy.

Note: The maze is best enjoyed during quieter times, as weekends and holidays can be busy. Weather can change quickly, so be prepared for rain or wind when visiting.
