Spooky Halloween trail at Moors Valley Country Park

Forestry England has announced the return of its popular illuminated Halloween trail at Moors Valley Country Park and Forest, near Ashley Heath.

The trail will run from October 23 to November 2 and promises a range of new spooky attractions.

These include a ghostly walk through the forest cemetery where spirits linger, a possessed pumpkin farm flowing with grisly grins, a bodysnatcher hiding among the trees and lurking in the shadows, an eerie-looking scarecrow standing still unless you get too close.
