It is believed to be the biggest BFG image ever created. Edward Gowler has painstakingly cut over 3km of pathways in his 12 acre field of maize plants near March to create the biggest image of The BFG ever created and a phizz-whizzing maze for visitors to get lost in. The record breaking BFG in the maze stretches to over 150 metres (500 feet), making it even bigger than Roald Dahls BFG.
