Description

The Forbidden Corner is one of England’s most recent follies. The brainchild of Mr C.R.Armstrong O B E it was originally built as a private folly but due to public demand was subsequently opened. Recently voted ‘The best European folly of the 20th century’ by The Folly Fellowship and also voted the best children’s attraction in Yorkshire’ comprising of; A unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises created in a four-acre garden in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. The temple of the underworld, the eye of the needle, a huge pyramid made of translucent glass, paths and passages that lead nowhere, extraordinary statues at every turn. There are decisions to make and tricks to avoid, a day out with a difference which will challenge and delight children of all ages. Also The Cat and Mouse experience, a series of underground tunnels with life size sculptures, plus a rather large surprise at the end. New for 2007 - Red Deer Herd. Somewhere at the bottom could you please add (self catering accomodation available) please phone for details.
