There’s nothing that kids love more over the Easter holidays than Easter trails or Easter egg hunts – especially if they get a nice chocolate treat at the end. We always make sure we do at least one Easter trail over the Easter weekend – it’s great family fun – and so I’ve put together our favourite Easter trails across Surrey to inspire you to go on an Easter adventure too.

National Trust Easter Trails

National Trust Easter trails are great fun. They used to be Cadbury Easter Trails but Cadburys stopped sponsoring them in recent years. Even so, they’re a great day out for the whole family and lovely to invite the grandparents to as well!

Each of the National Trust trails cost £3.50 per child and include a trail map, pencil and a chocolate egg at the end.
