CROP a load of that. Farmer Tom Pearcy has done it again.

Last year he invited families to set sail on his Viking longship, and now he wants them to be caught up in his giant spider's web.

His massive maize maze is a work of art. Forget surrealism, this is cerealism.

Yet York's newest attraction will be harvested for animal feed come the autumn. What an imaginative use of a cow's breakfast.

We recommend a field trip to families everywhere. It might sound corny, but this is the perfect way to lose the kids for a few hours in the long summer holidays.
