Do you believe in fairies?Come and meet the woodland fairies and their secretive friends
Why not lose yourself in the land of make-believe? Our beautiful fairy trail will transport you to a place of mystery and enchantment. The hand crafted willow sculptures and displays create a feeling of wonderment as you meander through the beautiful gardens and on into the secret woodland.
Our Giant Toadstools and Dandelions may make you feel small but it's all part of the magic, keep a good look out for the mischievous sprites and boggarts. The woodland fairies are shy creatures and they are not always easy to find, so please look up as well as down or even look inside the odd tree stump if you want to catch a glimpse of theses illusive creatures.( the map will help) Some of the other woodland animals and dragons may make an appearance but dont be alarmed they are a friendly bunch and they just love being around the woodland fairies. You may even catch a glimpse of a Unicorn and its foal …Why not dress up as your favourite fairy and join in the fun?
New for 2025: Dragon Alley – do you dare to run the gauntlet and walk down dragon alley? Who knows what you will find! )I’m told they are all friendly dragons even if they look a bit scary).
The trail is designed for all ages and there is an accompanying story/colouring book ( part of the trail pack bought separately)so that you can remind yourselves of the beautiful fairies and their friends.
The willow sculptures are hand made on the edge of Dartmoor using locally sourced materials with delicate wings that flutter in the slightest breeze.
