Families will be given an activity sheet to fill in with the intention to follow the trail and solve clues in different locations along the route.

Once completed, the sheets should be returned to the visitors centre to collect a sweet treat.

Activity sheets are available from the visitor centre for £1 per sheet.

Participants will need to bring their own pen or pencil.

There is no need to book, just turn up, and enjoy the Easter fun.
