Macroom (/məˈkruːm/; Irish: Maigh Chromtha) is a market town in County Cork, Ireland, in the valley of the River Sullane, halfway between Cork city and Killarney. Its Irish Gaelic may translate as "meeting place of followers of the god Crom" or "crooked oak", the latter a reference to a large oak tree that apparently grew in the town-square during the reign of the English King John. Its population has grown and receded over the centuries as it went trough periods of war, famine, forced emigration and intermittent prosperity. In a 2011 census, the urban area was recorded as 3,879.

A magical fairy garden in the heart of Macroom Town. Suitable for all age groups, young and not so young. Plenty to see down low, and up high. Fairies lurk all around among the trees, where childrens imagination runs wild. Picnic tables, and benches plentiful were you can just sit and read or drink a coffee. Experience the calmness that everyone speaks of, and experiences in the place. History ooses here from Famine long ago. Maybe thats why the place has such peace, and calmness. Beautiful rose beds, and flower boxes spread around the garden. A place like Heaven on Earth. You will love it. You will want to vome back, and each time you visit you will always see something you missed lst time. Children love it. A log sitting story and colouring area for the Children to unwind and relax. Enjoy everyone.

Tiny Feet Fairy Garden in Macroom is a very special place, so peaceful and relaxing, there's something about this place that's good for the soul. When you go in the gate you forget that you are in the middle of a town and while you are there it's like you leave all your baggage at the gate, almost become a child again and enjoy some carefree time in the land of the fairies. There is plenty seating where you can sit back, relax and soak in the wonderful ambience of this special place and you can also bring a lunch and enjoy it at the picnic tables. We all need to slow down at times, I highly recommend a visit here, you will come away feeling rejuvenated.
