Farmer's fury as crop circle appears next to heart-shaped wood on Summer Solstice

The summer solstice is traditionally a time of peace and love. So it was particularly fitting that this crop circle should appear in a field in Wiltshire yesterday - right next to a heart-shaped wood.

But the sentiment wasn't exactly shared by the farmer whose land the circle appeared on. He blasted the design an 'act of vandalism'.

A man claiming to be Gavin Davies, the farm's manager, posted an angry message on a website run by crop circle enthusiasts, urging them not to encourage people to visit the field.

He said: 'I have this morning noticed the circle on land that I manage.

'I do not support this vandalism, and demand that this circle, and the location are not reported on your website.
