It is next to The Cotton Mill building between the railroad tracks and the road. It is a 7-circuit "Petite Chartres" made of river rocks with fine gravel over landscaping fabric to control weed and grass growth. There is a collection of talismans left by previous walkers that is beginning to form a spiral.
It is next to a gutted building with graffiti here and there. There is more vividly colored graffiti on a nearby water tower and some brightly painted houses on the other side of the tracks.
Access is a little awkward because there is a fence between the Cotton Mill parking lot and the lot that holds the labyrinth and no sidewalk or parking by the road. But traffic doesn't go blistering past and the walk on the roadside is brief.
I think it's a great use of the space.
Hi there. I live in Durham and am interested in labyrinths and would like to visit yours if possible. Please let me know if it is available to the public, and if so, when would be a good time to come.

It is available all the time. It even has solar lights so it can be used at night.
ReplyDeletePark on the side of the driveway and let yourself in through the gate in the fence.
We're delighted to share.
