Leyland, Lancashire
Leyland's big free park with a genuine hedge maze, arboretum, craft workshops and play areas, plus a miniature railway looping the lawns on summer Sundays.
The maze alone justifies the detour - proper dead ends, proper triumph. Railway days are worth planning around; check before promising.
