The world's leading maze designer, Adrian Fisher, has planned more than 30 mazes across Britain. Most corn mazes exist for eight to ten weeks (early July to mid-September) before the crop is harvested as cattle feed. It takes an average of 1.5 hours for a puzzled pedestrian to find his way out of one.
To Adrian, who has created labyrinths all over the world from a wide range of materials, each one is a living work of art. "They look incredibly beautiful but they don't truly come alive until they are filled with people," he says. The cornfield designs are marked out on the field by hand, or using a Global Positioning System.
