Ely Cathedral Labyrinth
The West Tower stands some 66m (215ft) in height. The lower 2/3 is 12th Century work, the top 1/3 was added in the late 14th century. 
Beneath the West Tower, the pattern in the floor forms a unicursal maze or labyrinth. ('unicursal' is a grand word. A correct description is 'one way path') The distance from the entrance of the labyrinth to its centre equals the height of the Tower.
