Discover The Enchantment of The Forbidden Corner: A Unique Yorkshire Adventure

Step Into A World Of Mysteries And Marvels

Nestled in the heart of Tupgill Park amidst the stunning landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales, The Forbidden Corner invites adventurers of all ages to embark on a journey through its mysterious labyrinth. As the proud owners of Eastfield Glamping Farm, we've been enchanted by the magic of The Forbidden Corner, a captivating blend of garden and grotto that promises a day out like no other.

Unravel The Secrets of The Forbidden Corner

The Forbidden Corner is not your typical garden. Born from the imaginative minds of Mr C. R. Armstrong CMG O.B.E and his friend Malcolm Tempest, what began as a private folly has transformed into one of the most intriguing tourist attractions in North Yorkshire. With tunnels, chambers, follies, and an array of surprises waiting around every corner, this four-acre garden offers an experience that is as bewildering as it is delightful.

The adventure begins with the temple of the underworld and leads you through a maze of choices. Dare to discover the eye of the needle, navigate paths that lead to the unexpected, and marvel at the extraordinary statues that guard the secrets of this magical place. Each turn promises new decisions to make and tricks to evade, ensuring that both the young and the young at heart are thoroughly entertained.

A Garden with a Tale to Tell

The journey of The Forbidden Corner is as fascinating as the destination itself. Originally intended as a windbreak for the stables of Tupgill Park, the site evolved dramatically over the years. From the initial planting of a small wood of fir trees in 1979 to the creation of a grotto and the subsequent challenges of nature's own making, every stage of its development added layers of intrigue and wonder.

It wasn't until a serendipitous visit by students from Hull University that the idea of opening The Forbidden Corner to the public took root. Since its official opening in 1994, and despite the hurdles of planning permissions, the dedication of its creators and the support of loyal visitors have ensured that this magical garden remains open to delight and astonish all who enter.

A Visit for All Ages

The Forbidden Corner welcomes visitors from 8 to 80, proving that adventure knows no age limit. It's a place where imagination is ignited, curiosity is encouraged, and the joy of discovery is shared by families, friends, and solo explorers alike.
