It is a first in the country and it is here in Canterbury.

A labyrinth with stunning panoramic views of the city centre has opened at Kent University.

Located next to Eliot College cycle and foot path, the public space is the first labyrinth at an English university to be used as a teaching and learning resource.

“It’s here for individuals to come and walk, reflect and have time out,” said creative learning fellow Jan Sellers.

The labyrinth, created by local firm Hayward Landscapes, took just 12 weeks from inception to completion.

Constructed from British raw materials, york stone paths intertwine with grass walls, which are bedded in on reinforced mesh to allow for wheelchair access.

The university is also keen to use the labyrinth for workshops and open air performances.
