Fun day out

Just a brilliant place to take the family, you have to book before you can visit, as it is so busy, but you’ll be given a time slot, lots of things to find that are hidden, my family love it .

Quirky cool place

A labyrinth of strange tunnels, doors and more. Very well done and in a delightful setting. Café also good - not overpriced.

A place to bring out the child in you!

This is an absolute gem of a place! It's difficult to explain how magical and unexpected this place is! Built in the grounds of a large private house, the Forbidden Corner is a maze of buildings, tunnels and beautiful gardens of magical quality. As you...More

Nice afternoon out 😊

We had a great time here and were nicely tired out after exploring everywhere. Kids loved all the tunnels nooks and crannies and climbing up the towers. This by no means spoilt the day out but would be a good addition to have a bit...More
