The miniature village reminds me of happy times in my youth imagining the faeries and smallfolk that lived there. Unfortunately there are now plastic faeries inhabiting the miniature village which are slightly tacky and unnecessary. However, the garden remains a source of delight and tranquility. A welcome escape from the busy Esplanade. A place to chill, relax and enjoy the ornamental borders.
Read about this place online a few years ago and it really does live up to its reputation. Just a fantastic and unique little park. An unforgettable little corner of Scarborough that is so well kept and looked after. An absolute hidden gem of a little area. Please visit if you are ever in the area
There with my twin sister and parents during WWII, over 80 years ago. Our playground. Happy memories.. Father with RAF in Scarborough.
Peaceful garden to sit away from the hustle and bustle, relax- read a book or just quietly enjoy the tranquility. If quietness is not your thing then I suggest you don't visit!
Very sweet and peaceful little garden. I wish I had discovered it earlier, as my daughter would have really loved the fairy garden growing up. It has a very well kept lawn, great for picnics.
