10 Labyrinths to Visit in Virginia and 1 Maze

Do you want to visit a labyrinth in Virginia ? I think it is a great idea. I have selected 10 of the best (there about 160) that are accessible to the public from around the state, focusing on the large population areas. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder. When I wrote this blog post 2 years ago there were 140 so there is a lot of recent growth in the state.

Before we get to my recommendations for Virginia I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did. If you are interested in knowing things like what the largest labyrinth is in the US, where the Northernmost, Southernmost labyrinths are in the US, and similar questions, it is worth a read: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. All of these Virginia answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from Virginia:

Why visit a Labyrinth ?

Labyrinths are ancient and mysterious symbols that have been used for centuries for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. They are also a lot of fun to explore! If you're looking for a unique and challenging experience, walk a labyrinth with intention - it often leads to self-discovery. Personally, I like to walk labyrinths between dawn and sunrise or at sunset until dusk, but any time of day works. You may not realize it, but there is probably a labyrinth near where you live. Today we explore…
