enchanted forest
Spellbound fairy grove
An enchanted forest is a woodland setting in folklore, fantasy, and fairy tales where magic operates and supernatural beings dwell.
Such forests typically contain talking animals, mysterious creatures, and hidden dangers or wonders that test characters who enter them.
The phrase evokes a sense of wonder mixed with peril: The children wandered into the enchanted forest and encountered a witch.
In casual use, any particularly beautiful or atmospheric wooded area might be called an enchanted forest.
