Labyrinth Locator (labyrinthlocator.org)

This is really awesome! I learned about walking labyrinths at a retreat last year and have had a hard time finding public ones locally - this has given me some great options within a 30 minute drive. I have already shared this with at least one other labyrinth lover, and will be sharing with more. Thank you for making the map usable on an iPhone - lots of sites mess this up.

I imagine they sweated for a moment deciding if London Underground's labyrinths counted as individual pieces or the consolidated one they went for.

I assume this is crowd sourced? It has the labyrinth in my neck of the woods

Great site! I discovered just weeks ago and now use it every time I travel.

Labyrinths are really soothing for the mind in our overstimulated era.

I recall only a bit of a show that described a particular labyrinth on a hill—I think the destination was a tower also on the hill. It was thought to be one of the more difficult mazes because, as I recall, humans want to progress up toward the tower but at several junctures the incorrect path was the one that headed uphill.

No idea what/where that one was.

> at several junctures the incorrect path

Common misunderstanding. A labyrinth is a single path. It does not have branches like a maze.

If that's the case, then why did Theseus need that ball of yarn from Ariadne to avoid getting lost in one?

This really puts the 1986 movie Labyrinth in a new light, haha.

Was this a TV show?
