In 2005, international labyrinth artist Jim Buchanan was commissioned by Ribble Valley Borough Council, Clitheroe The Future and Land to create a large-scale labyrinth in the grounds of Clitheroe Castle, on the disused bowling green.
The grass turf design was chosen following dialogue and workshops with the local community and schools to stimulate ideas for the eventual labyrinth design. Now complete, this community labyrinth is a stunning example of land art, which is expected to attract and delight local people and vistors. It has been named ‘Convex Green’, to reflect its shape, colour and history as a bowling green.
Additional support was received from the Friends of Clitheroe Castle and the Northwest Regional Development Agency.
