Caerdroia 30
 

This was the last edition of the 20th century, and marked the 20th year of production. Starting as little more than a photocopied, hand-written newsletter in 1980, Caerdroia has travelled a long and winding path since then and, as I hope long-term subscribers will agree, has developed into a valuable resource for maze and labyrinth recording and research, and an integral part of the current labyrinth renaissance.
