The Forbidden Corner

About

The Forbidden Corner is a whimsical maze‑like garden tucked into the heart of Yorkshire’s Dales, a true family‑friendly adventure that blends art, nature and a touch of mystery. Visitors wander through twisting pathways, discover ornate towers, secret grottoes and playful sculptures – from a 12‑foot conifer dog’s head to a towering oak green man, each piece invites curiosity and delight. Open from April to Christmas, the attraction offers a unique blend of storytelling and physical exploration. On arrival, guests are free to roam the labyrinth at their own pace or follow a guided checklist that highlights its most enchanting features. A café, gift shop, and bubbling fountains provide scenic pauses, making the experience both fun and relaxing. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer, a parent looking for a break from conventional tourist spots, or simply someone who enjoys botanic beauty combined with a dash of eccentricity, the Forbidden Corner delivers an unforgettable jaunt into nature’s whimsy. The setting’s tranquil surroundings and the challenge of navigating its twists make it an ideal stop for families and children who love puzzles and exploration.
