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

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.

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.

That's the technical meaning, but in common language the two gave been interchangeable for centuries, so it's regrettably hard to be pedantic.

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?

[JKCalhoun → emigre]

It was. The maze (I guess not labyrinth) was a historic one.

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