A hidden gem and interesting story behind the construction of the Temple. Beautiful views and an interesting undulating walk through stunning countryside.

Mostly road, not a great route if you want to avoid traffic flying towards you.

great walk, bit sticky in parts during winter months. a couple of styles to negotiate if you have a large dog

the drive to the temple was well worth it. You will find a cafe, and family area, before a short walk up to the temple. the set up of the rock formations is mind blowing, but very interesting. a big tick for me to visit again.

The Forbidden Corner is a folly garden within the Tupgill Park Estate. It was originally built as a private garden in the 80s by Colin Armstrong, the owner of the Estate. The garden opened to the public in 1997. The Forbidden Corner is set up as a maze, with statues, towers, water fountains, grottoes, gargoyles and other curious things and structures. An unusual one!

Leyburn is a good spot for lunch!

Hackfall Wood is managed and has been restored by the Woodland Trust. It's a wonderful place to explore with waterfalls, woodland trails, a stream and river and several grottos, ruins and water features to visit. It has previously won the conservation category at the Europa Nostra societies for a 18th century planned landscape.

This isn't an actual temple, it's a 19th century folly created to provide employment for local people by the wealthy landowner William Danby. It's styled as a smaller version of Stone Henge and although only 200 years old it's still atmospheric and worth a visit.
