Have you ever seen a Fairy Tree? There is one near where the bears live and they visit it whenever they are passing by. Sometimes their pals join them. It's officially called The Tree Of Imagination.

It was an old, dead tree, but instead of it being chopped right down for firewood, it's been made into a home by the fairies.

All the branches have been cut off and a roof has been added on top.

Then there are windows set into the tree trunk and you can open the shutters on them to peer inside and see the rooms the fairies live in. There are all sorts of nooks and crannies where things might be hidden away.

There are steps up to big oak doors,

and even a cannon poking out of an opening in the roof! That must be to scare away all the goblins!

As long as you aren't too noisy, the fairies don't mind you looking in through the windows. You can see inside their bedroom and look at the lovely bed and chests.

You can see inside their sitting room, where there are sofas and chairs for the fairies to sit on. There's a telescope and bags of jewels in another room. And a room full of keys. They always spot something different every time they visit.

If there isn't a Fairy Tree near you, then visit the one the bears visit.

You'll find it at the junction of Broome Lane and Free Green Lane in Lower Peover, in Cheshire. You'll love it! But visit quietly so you don't disturb the fairies!
