20220821 I can't believe that I haven't been here in over 5 years. I hiked the trail as I always do when I come to this park. I was really surprised to see so much rocks are on the trail which made it a bit challenging for my little paws with tiny paws. Also, several fallen trees that my girls have to jump over, and overgrown weeds on the trail. All did made the hike more interesting. 5 years ago... I love this park. The section where the mansion is located is very clean and spacious with a garden, memorial, and other buildings. I love going hiking here with my dogs. The Ridge Top Trail is a great workout. It has a upward incline than a down hill hike. Be sure to wear hiking shoes because the down hill is pretty steep in some sections. This part is dog friendly. That's another section of trail that I skipped this time.

We did the Harry Potter experience trail here. It was our first time through and I didn't read up too much on the experience as to enjoy what was in front of me rather than trying to compare my experience with others. Overall, it's a very easy trail hike through the woods. There's plenty of benches for anyone who needs a break. About halfway through there's a small village which has bathrooms and a few places to eat. The meals were more filling and reasonably priced than I was expecting (always a good thing) and they had good flavor. There are a few points along the trail that are interactive but mostly you are just enjoying your time going through the forest and spending an evening with the lights. The first time is probably not going to be our last time but I don't feel like it will be an event we do every year.

Attended the Harrry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience which is at Morven Park until Jan 2023. The grounds were well-kept for the event and everyone who worked there was lovely to talk to! It was absolutely beautiful. There were restrooms about halfway through (those fancy portable bathrooms) one was handicap accessible. I did see an accessible ramp for one of the interactions that required getting onto a platform as well, and believe that the path would have been alright if in a wheelchair as well. The time spent to set all of that up as well as how well done the effects were I'd say that even someone not "into" HP would appreciate this experience very much.

We were here for the Harry Potter Forbidden Forest Experience. We arrived around 9:30pm, so we didn't really get to see the grounds, however the event was awesome. All of the staff was super friendly and helpful. The visual and audible effects were great. The food left a little to be desired and we probably should have eaten before we went. The price of entrance was reasonable, however the price of food, drinks and souvenirs was a little high, but guess that's kind of expected. I was a little disappointed the spider scene wasn't working due to weather but it was still cool to see.

We checked out Holiday Road here. It was a great place to hold the event. The park is expansive, well groomed, and there's tons of parking. There's a lot of history here: a mansion which was the home of a former governor, museum, and also equestrian center. There are nature trails and casual picnicking spots. You can take Holiday tours of the Davis mansion right now. I am fairly certain the gardens can be rented for parties and weddings as well. We didn't know of this park before Holiday Road, but we now consider it a great park to add in our rotation.

The Mansion was home of Westmoreland Davis, governor of Virginia during World War I. It is a hidden gem in Leesburg, entry to the gardens is free, you can bring your pets. There are tours of the mansion. There is plenty of parking, bathrooms and a section with picnic tables. It is a very pleasant place to walk, appreciate nature and spend a pleasant afternoon. The mansion is very well preserved as well as the stables and the servants' house. Highly recommended.
