Kerdroya & The Cornish Hedge + Q&A

A beautiful and thoughtful short film unpacking the overlooked cultural treasure of Cornish Hedges and also celebrating 'Kerdroya' the 56m diameter classical labyrinth built from Cornish hedging in the middle of Bodmin Moor. 

Kerdroya, the Cornish Landscape Labyrinth, is a work of Slow Art.

The Classical Labyrinth icon is a 4,000-year-old visual symbol found across the proto-Celtic world and beyond, inviting the pilgrim along its meditative pathway.

Cornish Hedges are the oldest structures on the planet still in use for their original function, an ecologically benevolent craft handed down aurally through countless generations.  

In the middle of Bodmin Moor, Kerdroya entwines these two ancient cultural phenomena and launches them into the future as a beacon of hope for those yet to come.

Plus Q&A session with Artistic Director, Will Coleman, Film-maker, Gemma Gilbert and Cornish Hedger, Leighton Paull.
