Biodiversity Lane Woodhill: Enchanted Walk
Woodhill Community Inclusion Hub (Resource Centre) have completed a community project which would be of interest to the local children in the area.
They have completed an enchanted walk / fairy village with lots of fairy doors and disney characters for the children to enjoy. This is displayed on the Biodiversity Lane, Woodhill, Ardara.
All the fairy doors and characters were made by hand and painted by all the people who attend Woodhill Community Inclusion Hub. We hope that you can come and enjoy what has been created.
