Forbidden Corner

Forbidden Corner

Where is it – England, Yorkshire and the Humber

Who looks after it –  Independent 

What is it –  Curiosity, Zoo or Theme Park 

When is it from – Modern

Described as “the strangest place in the world” and “a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises”, it is hard to categorise the Forbidden Corner. It is part garden, part theme park, part maze – a 4 acre visitor attraction with follies to explore – battlements, a temple of the underworld, a huge glass pyramid, extraordinary statues, paths, passages and tricks. It might be frightening for younger children, but is certainly suitable for older children and young at heart adults. You may get wet…The Forbidden Corner was originally built as a private folly but has subsequently opened to the public and wins awards. Some people love it, others are unmoved. You are advised to book.
