A couple of months ago I posted a collage of some of the fairy houses along the banks of the River Foss in York ( https://365project.org/fishers/365/2021-04-03 ). Since then there have been quite a few changes to the trail.
A number of the houses had been damaged or were thought to have disappeared. It turns out that some of the missing houses had just been moved to different locations. The damaged houses were replaced, and considerable publicity gained through local media. Several other people have also started adding houses to the trail and there are now thought to be around 50 of them. There are now also occasional police patrols to try and deter further damage.
This is one of the newer houses which was sited in a small rockery near the start of the trail.
Thank you for all your comments. I need to go to see the new additions to the fairy trail myself and preferably take a grandchild or too when they can visit.
Ian will read your comments with interest when he gets back tomorrow.

The fairy village in the wood sounds wonderful. There is a small one near the Moors Centre at Danby in North Yorkshire. No where near a hundred houses though.

That sounds wonderful. A friend of mine has one as she is on one of the walking routes to the local school. She regularly changes her scene to keep the childrens interest.

Thank you both. There are said to be about 50 fairy houses on the trail, although I found nowhere near that many. I need to take a child with me next time so they can crawl through the undergrowth to find them!
Thank you Katharine for you nice comment and the fav.

It is quite magical watching the children search for the fairy houses!
