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.

The fountain pond in Hackfall Forest is well worth finding. The fountain works from a hand pump that you must pressurize yourself. There is an information board and example of the old wooden pipes that used to carry water to the pond and fountain. There is also a small folly close by.
