SOUTH Yorkshire's amazing Maize Maze opened today – inspired by a giant ice cream cone.
Farmers Jim and Sarah Williams have grown and created the Cawthorne Maize Maze for the past seven years.

The living and growing maze at Jowett House Farm, which attracts thousands of visitors every summer, was one of the first in the country and was awarded Best Farm Attraction at the Yorkshire Show in 2005.

Sarah said: "Each year we have a completely new theme and design. We have always used our greatest asset – the farm – to base the design around."

This year's puzzle is a giant ice cream cone to celebrate the farm's latest development – Maizie Moo Real Dairy Ice-Cream.

"We started catering for our visitors with our own burgers cooked on the barbecue, but on a hot day children want ice cream, so ice cream made with our own milk was the obvious next development," said Sarah.

"The name 'Maizie Moo Ice-Cream' is very apt as the farm's cows eat the maize fodder, cut down after the Maize Maze has closed, during the winter. It is probably the best fodder you can give to cows."

Jim has been experimenting with ice cream flavours using fruit from the farm's garden, and even produced sweetcorn ice cream

Ice creams of all flavours will be on sale and the Maize Maze will be open for visitors of all ages to try to solve its complex twists and turns from today onwards.
