A unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers, follies and surprises created in a four-acre garden in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales.

The temple of the underworld, the eye of the needle, a huge pyramid made of translucent glass, paths and passages that lead nowhere, extraordinary statues at every turn.

The Cat and Mouse experience, a series of underground tunnels with life size sculptures, plus a rather large surprise at the end.

There are decisions to make and tricks to avoid, a day out with a difference which will challenge and delight children of all ages.
