The Ghost of Heritage is the first studio album by the English black metal band Winterfylleth, released on 14 October 2008 through Profound Lore Records.

Winterfylleth released its first demo in 2007, got some attention in the metal underground scene and got a studio album deal with the Canadian label Profound Lore Records.

The cover art features the Norman Peveril Castle in the Peak District, shown in saturated colours.

[1] The booklet dedicates the album to "all those who throughout the ages have been actively involved in the preservation of our proud ancestral heritage, rich national culture, folklore, and tradition".

[2] Blabbermouth.net wrote that The Ghost of Heritage consists of "a relatively unique brand of folk-laced, expansive, and semi-progressive (i.e., not cluttered) black metal that takes multiple listens to fully appreciate", with "a classy and intelligent style of composition that comes off as weighty as the topics covered".
