From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

World of the Elves, and other creatures if the Queen of the Elves allows them to exist in that world. There are several geographical locations on the Disc that is in contact with the world of the elves, and at certain times, the worlds are closer together, the barriers constructed on the Disc side of these locations weaken, and elves can come through to the Discworld.

The Dancers are huge slabs of meteorite, magnetic iron, standing in a circle, in Lancre. Since elves detest iron and effectively weaken in the presence of iron, The Dancers stone circle is a very effective barrier against the elves. The Dancers lead into the part of Fairyland that is a world of the gray and white of permanent winter, the part of Fairyland ruled by the Queen. Another known location leading to this part of Fairyland is a stone gateway on the Chalk. A very different part of the world of elves is a hot, steamy world ruled by the King of the Elves; this world is in contact with the Discworld at The Long Man, a location in Lancre consisting of three burial mounds in a suggestive arrangement. The Long Man also leads into the labyrinthine Lancre Caves.

Fairyland appears in its aspect as a gray-and-white winter or smoke-and-fire cave in Lords and Ladies, and appears in a very different aspect as world of nightmare monsters in The Wee Free Men.
