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 (on now 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.
A festive glow
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.

During the winter months, Landmark Forest Adventure Park offers a variety of both indoor and outdoor activities for visitors to enjoy.”
The ultimate winter travel destination
The event incorporates the original Treetop Trail, built nearly 30 years ago and now expanded for improved accessibility, including buggy and wheelchair access. Landmark Forest Adventure Park was named ‘Best Visitor Attraction’ 2024 at the Highlands & Islands Thistle Awards (HITA) in 2024. Landmark Forest Adventure Park is part of the Visit Cairngorms winter campaign, which is promoting the UK’s largest National Park as the ultimate winter travel destination.
