Who are the Wonderfolk living under Woodhorn Colliery at Ashington?

The search is on for magical creatures living underneath Ashington.

The Wonderfolk are rumoured to exist along the abandoned coal seams under Woodhorn Colliery.

But now a team of experts are set to find the elusive beings and bring their stories to life.

Anyone can join them on an interactive trail lasting all summer.

Visitors will meet Professor Parkyr, a world expert in unexplained underground life forms, and with the help of a magical miner’s lamp will go on a special mission to track down and uncover the stories and secrets of the Wonderfolk.

The search for Woodhorn’s alternative and magical past begins on Monday with the launch of an interactive tour.
