Join Heritage Wood for our 2026 Illuminated Walk.

Back for its seventh year, the Heritage Wood Illuminated Walk is a magical way to celebrate the season and experience our beautiful wood in a whole new light.

Follow a scenic one-mile trail, gently illuminated to guide you through the enchanting landscape. Along the way, you’ll be immersed in vibrant light displays and dazzling illuminated trees, creating a truly breath taking experience on crisp autumn and winter evenings.

After your walk, warm up with delicious hot drinks and food, explore local craft stalls, and pick up some seasonal treats to take home.

Join us for a night of wonder and celebration at Heritage Wood, near Ashbourne.
