By Mark Turner. Legend has it, faeries can be seen inside the top of Glastonbury Tor on mid-summer and has provided the inspiration for this garden which is themed around an old tumuli, sometimes known as 'faerie hill'.

The garden's hill is raised on columns and light will shine from the hill as water cascades down a path. The hill has a, never seen before, entrance with a view through to Neverland.

The garden is surrounded by a broken picket fence. On one side of the hill a tree sheds water into a pool as does the arch and path, all symbolic of our normal lives being fed by our dreams and emotions, especially those of children.
