Fairy doors appear in ancient wood

“Up the airy mountain, down the rushing glen,we dare not go a hunting, for fear of little men.”

The famous poem by William Allingham might be ringing in the ears of some daring children in West Cork as they go in search of mysterious fairy doors that have appeared in a local woods.

’Tis the season for ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties, but this Halloween some children are hoping for a treat rather than a trick after a band of fairies moved into the ancient woods near their village.
