The Forbidden Corner

About The Forbidden Corner

The Forbidden Corner is a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises created within a four acre garden in the heart of Tupgill Park and 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.

This is a day out with a difference which will challenge and delight adults and children of all ages.

  • A tourist visitor attraction unlike anywhere that you have been before, ideal for the adventurers and those young at heart!
