An amazing maize maze!



What an amazing place! This picture above is my friend in a maize field, which was designed and planted as a maze. It was a hoot walking around there; the maize is so tall we were given tall red flags so that we could lift them if we got lost!


We went for a Bank Holiday day out, four of us. We had discovered this place in early summer through attending their craft barns where pottery classes are held. The guy that teaches us pottery actually designed this Maze - he really is a versatile guy. The maize will be harvested at the end of September; the cows in the neighbouring fields will be eating it! Then new plants will be planted next year to create the 2010 Maze!


They were telling us today that before they harvest it, they are going to hold Torchlight Nights - get lost in the dark! You can buy supper of corn-on-the-cob and chilli in the cafe and then when darkness falls navigate your way around the Maze with flashlights. Sounds fun!
