The Labyrinth is situated in a spectacular location on the hillsides surrounding Looe Bay, with breathtaking sea and coastal views. It has been created to enhance the already spectacular - and challenging! - Coast Path walk between Looe and Seaton. As the path skirts the highest hill on that stretch, it passes alongside the 60-ft graffito that we carved into the sheep-nibbled turf of the hillside.

• You can visit it at any time of day, any day of the year, through a kissing gate.
• Dogs welcome on leads; there may be farm animals and/or wild animals around.
• Free entry, any donation towards upkeep very welcome. If you don't carry money with you when walking, a bit of tidying up - eg putting some of the scattered gravel back into the pathway - would be hugely appreciated!
  

We also have a wonderful Victorian stone coach house (out of bounds at the moment), and we're planning to turn it into simple hostel accommodation (it's halfway between Plymouth and Fowey - a serious day's walk from each). We're also planning to hold weekends and  workshops to help revive some of the traditional skills that are on the verge of being lost  ... watch this space!

Directions:

The Labyrinth can be reached at any time, any day of the year, from the Coast Path between Looe and Seaton. If you have the energy and time to walk 4 or 5 miles from one village to the other, you'll find the labyrinth about half way between the two.

If you want less of a walk, you can park at an access point to the Coast Path in one of two places, each of them about ¾ mile (1.5 km) from the labyrinth. Please note that even this shorter walk may be a challenge for some - the path winds its way along the hillsides by the sea, it is narrow and steep along most of its length, and there are steps and stiles. It is NOT suitable for wheels.

The access points for these shorter walks are shown on the map above. One is near the end of the yellow lane below the 'a' of Millendreath; the other is at the T junction just below Penhale Fm. At each location there is space to park, free of charge, for one or two cars on the laneside verge; be sure to leave enough space for farm machinery to pass.
