Prepare to be amazed by maze made out of maize

Native American Indian Maize Maze, Tulleys Farm, Turners Hill, Nr Crawley

Turners Hill

The Native American Indian comedian Chuquai Billy was at Tulleys Farm to perform a traditional cleansing ritual on the latest maze to grace the farm. The eight-acre maze, which has three and a half miles of pathways, has been crafted entirely out of maize. The crop, which will grow to about 9ft, has been shaped carefully since it first sprouted in April at the farm in Turners Hill, near Crawley, West Sussex. Farmer Stuart Beare has made a name for himself crafting detailed mazes every year. Past efforts have included a dragon, a pirate, a castle and a dinosaur.

York has had one for a long time too. This year its shaped like the statue of Liberty to highlight the link between American metropolis New York and the original (and best) York that it was named after

Ajay G, York,

Just please don't call us "red Indians" that's really offensive. Native American or American Indian will do fine thank you. Or even better, the actual tribe or nation that we come from would be nice.

We have one at a farm in Sedgwick, near Kendal, Cumbria. Nothing new here.

This had been going on in France at a place called the "labyrinthe" (or something like that) for years.

Each year they would grow different crops and make themed mazes (such as egyptian).they would often use Maize
Around the mazes there would be actors giving clues to solve puzzles and educating
