The place is a four acre folly in the Yorkshire Dales. It's am eccentric maze that doubles as a treasure hunt. It is brimming with character.
The entrance to the maze |
Whilst walking through the hedge mazes, wooded paths, tunnels and corridors, my overriding thought was:
This would be a fantastic location for Changeling: the Lost LARP
Now, I'm not into LARP anymore, but I would play a C:tL live game if it were run here. I just need somebody within the UK to organise it.
The game would be very Hedge-centric, with occasional forays into the edges of Arcadia and Dream spaces. There is a great potential for Hollows, Freeholds, Gateways, Goblin Markets and fucking scary encounters with the True Fae and Hobgoblins.
Part I of a water tunnel that leads to the Greek Underworld |
Logistically, the site would need booking for an entire weekend, with each attendee paying for at least a full day, maybe two.
There are cottages on site, which is good, and a possibility for camping for everybody else.
There's also a cafe on site.
These steps ultimately lead to the Greek Underworld |
The Gates to Hell or something |
A submerged dragon mural |
Gates leading to an offshoot of the grounds - a long path of trees and wild boars |
A representative wooded path |
The view from the edge of the grounds |
A gateway to the Hedge or something worse |
There are a fair few gateways and arches |
The entrance to another off shoot from the main grounds This one leads to a graveyard and a herb garden |
Another wooded path |
A warning to anybody who would meddle in the affairs of the Fey |
This, and many of the following photos, reminded me of the insignia from Changeling: the Dreaming |
An exit Also a point of No Return (in real life, it leads to the toilets) |
