Our featured Dales holiday cottages include this property just a couple of miles from Yorkshire's most idiosyncratic attraction The Forbidden Corner. Anyone who likes their Hogwarts is not going to be disappointed here. It is 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 there are decisions to make and tricks to avoid. In the two decades since its inception, the place has become one of the county's top attractions, with advance booking essential. Nearby West Burton is a glorious village off the beaten track with large green overlooked by typical Dales cottages including the charming Cats Pottery, home to the famous Moorside Cats.
