Stunning: The different shapes of the various types of trees are lit up and provide the perfect contrast with the backdrop of the night sky
An abbey was first built on the site now occupied by Syon House in 1431.
Its vast and impressive gardens were designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown in the eighteenth century at the request of the 1st Duke of Northumberland Hugh Percy.
The Great Conservatory, which houses part of the trail, was designed by Charles Fowler in 1828 and finally completed in 1830.
It was the first of its kind to be built from metal and glass.
In 1547, King Henry VIII's coffin was brought to Syon on its way to Windsor for burial.
It allegedly burst open during the night and in the morning dogs were found licking up the remains.
Visitors to the Park can stroll the grounds after dark and take in the Enchanted Woodland atmosphere until December 8.

Atmospheric: Plants which adorn part of Syon Park's Great Conservatory cast their shadows on its glass ceiling as a family walks along the trail
