Easter days out in Buckinghamshire

Nature is waking up after the long sleep of winter. This Easter holiday, at a special place near you, there’s a spring trail brimming with clues and challenges. The trails test your powers of observation and deduction and lead to intriguing new discoveries about the places you visit. When you follow a spring trail, you help us look after special places like Stowe and Hughenden.

Stowe

Spring has sprung and it's time to get outdoors with your family over Easter between 30 March and 15 April. Enjoy walks in the garden to see the vibrant colours returning to the trees, see new born lambs bouncing and get stuck into a wide range of fun activities available throughout the school holidays whatever the weather.
