It took a while, but I finally worked it out. On sunny days Lidl’s car park in Dungloe is pretty full but the shop is quite empty. Just across the road from is the entrance to the River Walk. I have eyed this entrance many times as I have bundled the shopping into the back of the car. Mothers with prams and toddlers are often headed this way. Yesterday I finally crossed to road and wandered into a magical woodland. No teddies to be found but a magical woodland with fairies and a giant troll. Here he is.
Here’s a selection of images from the walk. It was inventive, funny, engaging and charming in equal measure. I just loved it.
I wonder how many sightings of magical creatures have been reported to the Elf-13 office at the EU? A fair few I shouldn’t imagine.

That does look fun. What a brilliant idea to engage with young children’s imaginations like this.
It also gets them thinking about respect for nature (and the Little People).
Outstanding post! It gives me some ideas for the next time our grandchildren come for a visit.
Thank you, there were lots of really inventive ideas here. I liked they way they used the trees that were here and shaped their ideas around them. Fairies are very much with one with nature!
This was delightful, Emma. A magical place indeed. The EU notice was the perfect touch too.
I just loved the EU notice (also in Irish). It made me sad that Britain is no longer in the EU. Ireland definitely is in the EU and Northern Ireland is in the Single Market – these were big reasons for moving over here.
Great post. Love the magic.
Thank you, Geoff – it was quite a treat.
Pleasure. Happy Monday Emma.
What fun! I love your area of the world. That pacifier (dummy) tree is perfect!
Its very sweet, isn’t it?
I have re subscribed to your blog as I have not been seeing your posts in my Reader on WP.
Thank you Leueen – that happened to me last year too! WP does odd things at times.
