There are plenty of surprises in store! Try to hang back from people ahead of you so that you don't see what's coming.
The Forbidden Corner is unique - you will never have come across anything like it before. It's an magical, fantastic folly of underground labyrinths, hidden chambers, a temple and even a glass pyramid. Nothing is as it seems and shocks or puzzles await you at every turn. Younger children may find some areas scary, but there are 'escape routes' if needed. Older children and adults will love it. The gardens are beautiful and there's a lovely picnic area and a fish pond by the carpark.

Take waterproofs as most of it is outdoors and after all, this is Britain.
Lots of good points to mention and loads to see and do. Our 12 year old son even enjoyed himself. Cryptic clues and puzzles to tax the brain and in a setting which was quite other worldly. Brilliant solid statues of figures.The grounds are great and the day has lots of good exercise and fresh air for the kids. We'll be going at some point soon, again.
