Forbidden Corner

The Forbidden Corner is a folly garden located in the Tupgill Park Estate, at Coverham in Coverdale, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, England. It is open to the public. The folly garden is designed as a maze, with tunnels, grottoes, and novelty sculptures. The Folly Fellowship, a charity, voted it the best European folly from the 20th century. First part of a private garden built in the 1980s, it was opened to the public in 1997 with an entrance fee. The gardens grew and by 2000 were widely visited and employed 25 people. There were concerns from planners at the National Park that the garden did not align with the aims of the park, and that the number of cars coming to visit was causing pollution. However, the park stayed open.
