A new winter light show experience will be bringing a festive glow to the award-winning Landmark Forest Adventure Park at Carrbridge near Inverness in the Scottish Highlands from 23rd November until 19th February 2025.
The 'Ancient Forest Twi-LIGHTS' experience will allow visitors to follow a one kilometre woodland trail and immerse themselves in the enchanting ancient pinewood forest, illuminated by over 50,000 lights and effects.
Special features include a UV light tunnel and a 'Red Squirrel Trail', a treetop journey that takes visitors eight meters up into the forest canopy for stunning views of the illuminated woodland below.
Landmark Forest Adventure Park is part of the new Visit Cairngorms winter campaign, which is promoting the UK's largest National Park as the ultimate winter travel destination for 2024.
Lisa Anderson, Marketing and Sales Manager at Landmark Forest Adventure Park, said:
“We're thrilled to announce our new 'Ancient Forest Twi-LIGHTS' experience for 2024. Over 50,000 lights will illuminate the pinewood forest, bringing a festive glow and creating a truly magical atmosphere.
