The Amazing Cornish Maize Maze, near Saltash, Cornwall

The Amazing Cornish Maize Maze is located just a few miles over the Devon/Cornwall border, when coming into Cornwall on the A38. It's just off the main road and well-signposted.

A maize maze is strictly a seasonal activity, which is loads of fun whether you're 3, 13, 30 or 93!

Each year, the Amazing Cornish Maize Maze takes on a new theme - and the theme for 2010 was Clowns.

Once you've exhausted yourself in the maize maze and cracked the puzzle, there's plenty more to do on site. You can enjoy a Cornish cream tea or a genuine Cornish pasty in the cafe, there's also a picnic area (with further mini-mazes) or you can visit the gift shop to buy a souvenir of your fabulous day out at the farm. Feel free to enjoy the farm trail which you can explore at your leisure, admiring the range of rare breed animals which are found grazing in the fields, including Tamworth pigs, Saddleback pigs, Aberdeen Angus beef cattle and Dorset Horn sheep.

If you're looking for somewhere to stay, then Smeaton Farm offers farmhouse bed and breakfast accommodation or there's a camping field. Smeaton Farm is an organic farm of 450 acres, run by a farming family.

Smeaton Farm is a 4-star AA establishment, with 4 rooms available for bed and breakfast costing from £30 per person/per night. Three of the bedrooms are doubles, with the fourth being a family room. Evening meals can be served, if pre-booked, at a cost of £20/head, including wine.
