Can you spot some of the fairy doors in Fishpond Wood?
Thank you to everyone who came to paint a fairy door over NiddArt weekend. It was great to meet you all. Your lovely doors are on the path from the Bewerley iron gate until next Sunday 6th September. You are welcome to take them home after that.
