Saffron Walden Turf Maze is a turf-cut labyrinth in Essex, England. The design is a medieval reims layout with 17 circuits, 18 walls, approximately 35 metres in diameter, built of turf. Documented age: Possibly medieval (documented 1699) (Medieval - 1699 AD). Current condition: restored. At 35 meters in diameter with a 1,500-meter path, the Saffron Walden turf maze is the largest publicly owned turf labyrinth in England. Recut in 1699 and marked with bricks in 1911, its origins are debated — possibly medieval or earlier. Documentation sources: Saward 2003, Matthews 1922. A figure that resolves into a single unbroken line when traced from edge to centre and back.

The labyrinth is one of several hundred sites of this type catalogued globally; each preserves the same unicursal walking-pattern with regional variation in scale, material, and date.
