Private Garden Maze
Chase Estate Garden Maze
The garden maze at Chase Estate is a formal, well-manicured labyrinth of hedgerows clipped into dense, vine-covered walls that twist into dead ends and sudden clearings. Its gravel paths wind through carefully sculpted yew and holly, their leaves dark and waxy under the oppressive weight of an alien presence. The air smells of damp earth and crushed vegetation, thick with the metallic tang of recent violence; strangled corpses have been found clustered near the maze’s twisting turns, their bodies gripped with unnatural rigor by living vines that still pulse faintly with the plant’s dark energy. The maze’s central copses once offered cool shade, but now radiate an unnatural chill, as if the vegetation itself has turned predatory under the influence of the Krynoid.
