STEP into the shadows this Halloween as Forestry England welcomes the return of a spectacular illuminated trail to Moors Valley Country Park and Forest on the Dorset and Hampshire border.

Halloween At Moors Valley is set to be even more thrilling with brand-new installations that will turn the forest into a spine-tingling, spooky setting.

Running from October 23 to November 2, the trail will include a ghostly walk through the forest cemetery where spirits linger, a possessed pumpkin farm flowing with grisly grins, a body snatcher hiding among the trees and lurking in the shadows, an eerie-looking scarecrow standing still (unless you get too close…), and more.

There will also be devilishly delicious snacks available to purchase. From bewitched burgers to freaky fries, there’s something for every monster in your crew.
