The Labyrinth


The pattern of the 366 trees in the great circle defines the labyrinth


The Labyrinth at Falconhenge is a variation of this one, set into the floor of Chartres cathedral.

A labyrinth is not a maze. By following the path you visit every part of Falconhenge. The total distance is about a mile and allows quiet contemplation. Maybe you'll see a falcon overhead, maybe a bobolink will scold you.
