The only Maize Maze in the Eden Valley is situated at Hay Close, Calthwaite, which has been farmed by the Field family for over 50 years. The farm is mainly stocked with cattle and sheep. We grow various crops including barley, wheat and potatoes. The farm attracts many interesting forms of wildlife including hares, buzzards, song thrushes, finches, wild geese and woodpeckers to name but a few!

The idea of the Maize Maze is deceptively simple; a fun educational family day out in a beautiful countryside setting, with an intriguing challenge for you to solve.

1st November 2007:
The maze is now closed and is currently being fed to our cattle! However should you need feeding our tearoom is very much open with loads of freshly made treats and there are plenty of great ideas for Christmas presents with our crafts and cards.
