Family Day Out ~ The Forbidden Corner

A few weeks ago now my Sister had her Sister-in-Law, Brother-in-Law and two Nephews up for the weekend and as we all had the day off Saturday we (Mummy and Daddy Lines included) decided to have a day out at The Forbidden Corner in Middleham near Leyburn North Yorkshire.

On the Bank Holiday Monday there was a parade in Richmond (my hometown) and in the gardens they had stalls and face painting etc. My Mum had purchased some raffle tickets from one of the stalls and then we set off home for a chilled afternoon. Whilst we were just sitting down to eat our evening meal we had a call and I think this happens to most people as soon as you sit down to eat the phone goes! Very annoying, but on this occasion this call wasn’t so bad, it was one of the raffle organisers calling to say that we had won a family ticket for The Forbidden Corner!

We had booked to go for 13:00 so we decided to take a picnic with us and have some lunch before we went in. The picnic area is in a small little wood with picnic benches spread out in small openings dotted around which is something different and luckily for us the weather was nice so it was a nice little place to enjoy our food.

Once we had filled our faces with tasty sandwiches and cakes we made our way in to the park its self and we had a fun filled afternoon making our way around making sure that we found everything that was on the leaflet that we were given at the start. There is plenty to see and a few surprises on the way.

If you are looking for a fun family day out then The Forbidden Corner is perfect as it’s just as much fun for adults as it is for the kids, no chance of getting bored while the kids are having a scream. Every time I’ve been they have added something new so if you have been before its worth checking out again especially if your looking for something to do during the upcoming summer holidays!
