Dragon & Fairy Trail - Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 August

Enys Gardens is a picturesque garden and woodlands a few miles to the East of Penryn. Its ancient buildings have been largely abandoned since the mid-20th century, but are gradually awakening from their long slumber.

Here is what Enys Gardens said: "The delightful woodland fairies and their friends have returned to Enys again this August. We understand that some of the bolder creatures have managed to coax some of the very shy animals into making an appearance so be careful not to startle them as you meander through the beautiful paths."
