AN amazing maize maze will greet visitors at Top Barn Farm, in Holt, this summer.

The plants are just 3in high at the moment, but, by mid-July, will have leapt to 6ft in height.

Michael Harper, who runs the farm's harvest shop, said work would begin cutting the maze once the maize had reached head height.

"We'll be opening it to the public to walk round and basically get lost, hopefully in time for the school holidays," said Mr Harper.

"The idea of a maize maze has been done on about 10 farms across the country, but it's a new thing for us this year.

"The plants are only tiny at the moment, but, by the middle of next month, they'll be around 6ft high and we can start work on cutting the paths.

"It's another string to our bow."

Top Barn Farm runs courses for disabled children and adults throughout the year and offers visitors pick-your-own strawberries and raspberries.

In addition, its harvest shop boasts shelves of fresh vegetables, fruit and herbs, and has plans to stock the farm's home-reared lamb and beef.
