'Fairy control' to halt tiny doors in Somerset woods

[William Seger]

"Fairy control" has had to be brought in at a woods in Somerset to curb the "profusion of elfin construction".

Hundreds of fairy doors have been attached to the bases of trees in Wayford Woods, Crewkerne.

It is claimed the doors have been installed by local people so children can "leave messages for the fairies".

But trustee Steven Acreman said: "We've got little doors everywhere. We're not anti-fairies but it's in danger of getting out of control."

Much smaller and cuter, but still an invasion of the woodlands.
