Discovered a labyrinth in my neighborhood

Pretty cool. It's out in the forest around half an hours walk from a lake. My girls and I walked the twisting path. Cool little spot and I appreciate the effort someone went to create and maintain a little piece of magic.

Inspiring. And doubly cool as I was just researching labyrinths as my next short story uses one as a theme. I immediately knew this was a 'classic' shape rather than some of the more modern ones.

I know people who go on labrynth walks for meditation.

I love puzzles of any sort. Labyrinths sit firmly in my world. In fact I see life itself as an abstract maze with many exits, which we end up going through depends on the turns we choose to make. ooh there I ago, it's never enough just to like something for me is it lol!

There's a peculiar labyrinth a quarter of a mile from where I live. It's located behind a tall hedgerow, right beside a busy road that leads to the airport and on to Newquay. Cars race along this two lane road at 60 mph+. I'd noticed the pattern of what looked like a swirly track on the map, assuming that it had been made by local BMX or trail bike riders. Then, when I was walking into town one day, I saw the heads of a horse and rider above the hedge. She was riding at a trot, and I realised that she was following the course of the labyrinth. It has 3' high banks to mark its course, and to allow better horse control I guess. Set in a safe place, it allows a lot of exercise to take place in a small area.
I don't know if you'll be able to see this, but here's the aerial view, courtesy of Google Maps : https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@50.4302812,-4.9592751,226m/data=!3m1!1e3
