The Worldwide Labyrinth Locator is the best way to
find locations of labyrinths and information about these
labyrinths. The Worldwide Labyrinth Locator is a joint project
between Veriditas and The Labyrinth Society. Listings include: type of
labyrinth, when it’s available, and a person you can contact via e-mail
or phone. There are now almost 2,000 entries in the Labyrinth
Locator, and it’s growing every day. Please note that many owners of
private labyrinths welcome guests, but they like you to phone first and
say when you’re coming.
