The Enchanted Fairy Forest's woodland walk is just full of surprises! Stumble upon the mischievous Goblin and his puppet pal, Chomper the Dragon making mischief around the park!

Peep through the fairytale windows and doors and experience a miniature world brimming with tiny pixie dwellings, friendly fiery dragons and fairy hideaways along the way to the White Witch’s Cottage!

...and keep a close eye on your socks! There are whispers that the mischievous goblins have a rather peculiar fondness for them. Any lone socks might mysteriously disappear during your woodland walk while you're busy spotting fairies and dragons – if you leave with odd socks, you have been warned!
