Millets Maize Maze

You'll find yourself lost in a proper maze carved through a field of maize just outside Witney - and that's rather the point. Millets Maize Maze is the kind of place that sounds a bit gimmicky on paper but actually works brilliantly if you've got restless kids or fancy a laugh with mates trying to navigate your way out.

The maze changes design each year, which keeps repeat visits interesting. You're hacking through towering corn plants, squinting at maps, arguing about which turning to take next. On a hot summer day it's genuinely fun; on a drizzly autumn afternoon less so. Expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour getting properly muddled, especially if you're doing it without cheating.

Families with children aged 6-14 get the most out of this - young enough to think getting lost is exciting, old enough to actually read a map. Teenagers might roll their eyes. Adults on a holiday park staycation will probably find it entertaining enough for a half-day outing, though it's not something you'd drive across the county for.

If you're staying at Lincoln Farm Park Partnership or Hardwick Parks nearby, it's a convenient addition to a park holiday rather than a destination in itself. Check opening times and entry fees before you go - they vary by season. Best visited in summer when the maize is tall enough to make the whole thing worthwhile. Spring or autumn and you might find it a bit underwhelming.
