Forbidden Corner & gluten free Fish & Chips

Wow, today was one amazing day! We started off with bacon sandwiches is always a good way to start any day. We then embarked on an 1.5 hour drive to Tupgill Park Estate in Middleham to visit Forbidden Corner.

The Forbidden Corner is a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises created in 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.

We had great fun! There is so much to see and do and it isn't linear nor is there a map of the place. It's all about the exploration, making choices and discovering secret areas.

If you are likely to be in that part of the word then you would be made to not go! Visit their website here:http://www.theforbiddencorner.co.uk

Thanks to the wonders of a somewhat random Nokia satnav we had a pretty breathtaking ride home. It was like a roller coaster ride in more ways than you might think! We did get home safe and sound though although there were times when we had doubts!

The icing on the cake for Toni and I was being taken to a Fish & Chip shop that does gluten free batter. How happy were we! It was delicious!
