Kerdroya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kerdroya is a stone labyrinth built on a disused carpark at Colliford Lake in Cornwall, southwest England. The project, built with different types of Cornish hedging,[1] took seven years to complete and was instigated by Will Coleman.[2] A thousand volunteers and 5,000 schoolchildren helped build it and about 150 people received training in the craft of hedging during the build, completed in 2025.[3]
The land art project is the world's largest stone labyrinth at 56 metres (184 ft) wide.[4]
More than 140,000 regional stones were used[5] including Bodmin Moor granite, serpentine stone from the Lizard and West Penwith stone.[6] In the centre is a metal art installation made by Thomas and Gary Thrussell, father and son metal artists.[7]
Corporate sponsors include South West Water, Cornwall National Landscape, National Lottery Heritage Fund, Cornwall Council, Arts Council England and the Guild of Cornish Hedgers.[8]
The name Kerdroya is a Cornish word that roughly translates as "castle of turnings".[9]
