Something new for this December from the Oulton & Woodlesford Neighbourhood forum - the Oulton & Woodlesford Christmas Walk Map 2025!

Use the map to discover festive houses and local businesses you can walk to and enjoy.

We’re not aiming to turn the villages into a full winter wonderland — this is simply a fun, gentle way for residents to enjoy some seasonal walks and see the decorations our community has created. This could be external displays including lights, or decorated windows.

You can view the map by visiting our website and scrolling down to find the post called "Oulton & Woodlesford - Christmas Walk 2025" - https://www.oawnf.org

You can also add a location using the link there (also added within the comments)

The map will be updated once a day with any new entries to visit.

If you have any questions get in touch.
