Forbidden Corner, Garden labyrinth in North Yorkshire, England

The Forbidden Corner extends across four acres of land, featuring a network of tunnels, chambers, and unexpected pathways through landscaped gardens and architectural structures.

Colin Armstrong developed this private garden in the 1980s as a personal project, which later opened to the public in 1994 due to growing local interest.

The garden design incorporates numerous references to English folklore and mythology through its statues, water features, and architectural elements that create an engaging exploration experience.

Visitors need to reserve tickets in advance through the official website, as the attraction maintains strict daily capacity limits to ensure quality experiences.

The glass pyramid contains an underground chamber where mechanical devices generate mist and sounds, creating an immersive subterranean environment for explorers.
