I can't imagine how ah-maze-ing this lavendar labyrinth at Cherry Point Farm and Market in Michigan smells. You can buy lavender as well as other fresh-cut herbs and produce, so it just seems like a wonderful farm market to add to any trip.

Another maze rather than labyrinth, I love the purpose of this maze. It was a community project in Northern Ireland designed and built to promote peace.
