They were made by Garry Turler, a chainsaw art and wood sculptor from Cwmtwrch, in the Swansea Valley.
Perfect for 2-6 year olds but fun for all the family, the trail is open all year and about half a mile in length (0.8km).
Make sure you pick up a trail leaflet on entry, then head for Fairy Wood – and enjoy.
