Labyrinthos Photo Library

Altarpiece, Watts Chapel, Compton

Labyrinthos has an unrivaled collection of photographs of labyrinths and mazes from around the world - several thousand images at the last count. We also have an extensive collection of artwork and line illustration, suitable for illustrative purposes and publications.

On the following pages you will find many beautiful photographs of labyrinth and mazes from around the world. We hope you will enjoy browsing through our collection. Every summer we lead guided tours to many of these historic labyrinths and mazes. Visit our tours page for further details.

For more details of the history, distribution and purposes of these various labyrinths and mazes in many cultures and lands, we recommend Jeff Saward's new book "Labyrinths & Mazes" - available from Labyrinthos and all good book stores.

If you would like to use any of our images on your website, in magazines, publications or books, please respect our copyright and ask us for permission first. For details of reproduction fees and permission procedures, send us an e-mail with details of your planned usage and format requirements.
