Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, the fairy houses were removed from Tinker Nature Park in 2019.

For most of us, no matter how old we get, we’ll always remain fascinated by the idea of mythical creatures, more specifically fairies. So if you’re spending every moment possible outside like the rest of us who are clinging onto summer, we’ve found the next trail for you to explore on a sunny day.
