The Maine coast is popular for many reasons. The dramatic landscape, the seaside towns, the lobster, but there are also several lesser-known magical places where in-the-know travelers seem to flock. Cathedral Woods, on Monhegan Island, is known for its exceptionally tall spruce, mossy boulders and fairy house. Here, visitors come to take part in the old tradition of building fairy houses. Not frowned upon but encouraged, the wood floor is littered with tiny mini homesteads made of bark, shells, and leaves for magical visitors to take shelter.
