I've been a couple of times but think it would be better for a summer day out, also probably more for children.

I've only passed it Tom, but wondered what it was like inside.The first time I passed it I thought that the tigers were up the trees by the road side

No need to travel far afield for an interesting day out. If you're interested in stately homes, Gawthorpe Hall at Padiham (National Trust/Lancashire County Council) will be open for the new season on March 23rd. Wednesday to Sunday every week and Monday Bank Holidays from 12 noon to 5 p.m. Don't forget our local attraction, the Haworth Art Gallery! There's a series of art exhibitions throughout the year, plus the permanent exhibition of Tiffany Glass, the finest collection in the world outside the United States!

The Forbidden Corner, followed by Brymor Icecream parlour and a meal/ good drink in Masham

The thread starter still hasn't replied to post 2 as to the sort of things she likes doing, nor has she said whether she has transport or when this day out will be. Would be nice if she could give us more info as people are only too willing to help if they know what's required.

They were never the same after Alan Price left.

The thread starter hasn't been on since the first post. Typical.

It's still useful for other people, though-it's a common query

I LOVE the Forbidden Corner even though I think it's aimed at children. Need to pre book though I THINK from what I remember. Some nice walks around there too and there's a chocolate museum nearby which I think is worth a visit.
If more into city slicking I agree on Liverpool, museums, shops, nice eateries, lovely quirky drinking establishments...

You are right about the booking SM online bu phone or in Leyburn I think. Where's the chocolate museum?

Sunflower49 · 26-02-2013, 00:34

It's in Leyburn. It's more of a chocolate factory actually, but they give you a guided tour and there's a lot to look at-however It's quite a small place.
I wouldn't go to Leyburn JUST to go there but as part of a day out it's great-I think we went for a long walk then to Forbidden corner then to the chocolate place-I think it's called 'The Little Chocolate Shop'.

Go and spoil yourselves at the Dunkenhalgh, for a sauna, and a massage followed by an evening dinner.

Hi DaveinGermany. Just seen your post on 16/2/13. Glad your so proud of Liverpool, always loved it. Half me ' rellies ' come from there. My mum was born and bred there as we're my grandparents and my sister is married to a scouser.!
