As well as creating traditional hedge and wooden fence mazes, he has pioneered many of the world’s new forms and methods of maze construction.

He received the 2003 Resorgimento Award at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, for transforming a chosen field of endeavour through outstanding creativity. He has written over a dozen books, and broadcasts extensively on television and radio. He designs puzzles for the World Puzzle Championships, and various series of his puzzles have appeared in The Times, The Guardian, Daily Mail, BBC Radio Times and Country Life.
He is enthusiastic about location-based attractions to affirm positive family and social values. His favourite concepts currently include The Playful Garden (where outstanding garden design wholeheartedly embraces children’s creative play), Discovery as a way of learning, and the life-affirming importance of sharing family experiences. He is keen to encourage schools to install Maths Gardens. He lives in Dorset with his wife Marie, his co-Director.
