Labrynth Kerdroya, worlds biggest, Colliford Lake, Bodmin, Cornwall, UK

The Kerdroya Labyrinth is part of the Golden Tree project, launched to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 2019, and is the largest classical labyrinth in the world. It is a permanent, living monument, designed to last 4,000 years. Creator Will Coleman said the project which was built using traditional Cornish stone hedging techniques, was a tribute to the craft and celebrates Cornwall's wild landscape. Mr Coleman, said the work was "communal, spiritual and educational" and "every stone laid carried a story." "It's our landscape and our heritage, woven together, for the next 4000 years." He said the name Kerdroya was taken from historical turf mazes and that it's important to distinguish the difference between a maze and a labyrinth. "In a maze you get lost, but in a labyrinth you find yourself." Visitors can walk along the 750m (2461ft) path and read messages from hedge pledgers, individuals, and organisations who have supported the campaign. The centrepiece of the exhibit was created by Thomas and Gary Thrussell Thomas described it as the "beating heart and focal point" of Kerdroya The creation is made from traditional Cornish hedging built using 140,000 granite stones, has been unveiled at Colliford Lake on Bodmin Moor. The work took five years to complete and was laid by hand across 445 metres (1460ft). Will Coleman said it was not just a place to visit but a place "to reflect, reconnect, and celebrate Cornwall's landscape and spirit." This unique piece of land art, spanning 56 metres across, is constructed out of traditional Cornish hedging, while simultaneously training the next generation of Cornish hedgers through a training programme supported by the Guild of Cornish Hedgers and funded by Cornwall Council and National Heritage Lottery Fund. When complete, visitors will have a “fully immersive experience” as they follow a single path through artisan stonework which celebrates distinct hedging styles. At the centre of the labyrinth will lie a commissioned art installation by the Thrussells (father and son duo) with beautiful backdrop views of Colliford Lake. Funded by Cornwall Council, Cornwall AONB, Arts Council England, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Cornwall Heritage Trust and FEAST, the project will also support thousands of species of insects and pollinators.
