UK farmer creates maze in likeness of Statue of Liberty

A maze featuring a recreation of the Statue of Liberty 10 times larger than the original has been unveiled in Yorkshire.

Composed of more than a million living maize plants and covering about 18 acres, is one of the biggest mazes ever constructed.

With a length of 1,300ft it dwarfs the real Statue of Liberty, which is just 111ft high.

Farmer Tom Pearcy said he wanted the design - built in fields just a few miles from the centre of York - to celebrate the connections between New York and the British city from which it took its name.
