National Trust, nationwide
You can always rely on the National Trust to help get you into the Easter mood, with special trails planned and the chance to get an egg at the end.
With different activities to try along the trail, each site has its own slightly different variations so you can tackle more than one Easter trail if you fancy – you could find a spy-themed option, or anything from dressing up as various animals to sniffing wellies and playing traditional games.
But each trail ends with chocolate of course – made with sustainably sourced cocoa (and vegan/free from versions) so you can scoff it guilt-free.
Check here for the latest details of sites joining in with the Easter activities, as well as other Spring fun. Trails cost £3.50 including for members, plus the usual entry fee for non-members.

English Heritage has its own Easter quests, with the chance to celebrate some spring fun at sites around the country.

There’s a certificate for those who complete the Quest, as well as a chocolate treat. The trails have a small charge on top of entry (which is free for English Heritage members).
