Start your Easter adventures this school holiday with the National Trust. Each 10-point trail has nature themed challenges around a Yorkshire garden near you. Pick your nearest or head further afield, with many running over two weeks, you could try a few.
Just north of York and easily accessed from the A19 is Beningbrough where it’s all about play. How low can you limbo? Let your imagination roam in the storytelling den. Have a go at hula hooping and try your hand at egg rolling to name just a few of the activities you’ll face on your way.
Or head to Nunnington Hall near Helmsley, with the Lion’s Den play area where little explorers can climb up, over, and wobble along a natural obstacle course. There are tree stump steps to jump across, a rope bridge to climb across as well as a wooden climbing frame to conquer.
You could visit Ormesby Hall near Middlesborough, wheelbarrow racing and egg and spoon racing, plus, seed planting is on offer in the garden and front field.
Easter adventure trails are also available at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal and Brimham Rocks. In West Yorkshire head to Nostell and East Riddlesden Hall, and further south visit Wentworth Castle Gardens.
Prices are £3 per trail which includes an Easter trail sheet for that garden adventure, bunny ears to make and wear and a dairy or vegan and Free From chocolate egg prize at the end. Normal admission charges apply to each place, or free to National Trust members and under-fives.
Check locally for dates of the trail at each place as they vary, opening times, and to plan your visit.
