Erddig and Chirk Castle are just two National Trust Cymru locations creating an adventure in nature with Easter egg trails.

Easter is just around the corner, and National Trust Cymru is inviting the whole family to enjoy Easter egg trails and spring adventures locally.

The Easter trail at Chirk Castle will take place from 11-24 April from 10 am-4 pm.

The Pleasure Ground Wood and gardens at Chirk are carpeted with drifts of late daffodils, wild garlic and the rhododendrons in the shrub garden smell beautiful after a spring shower.

Follow the Easter adventure in nature trail around the garden to discover what makes Chirk Castle special. Find the birds, insects, trees, and plants that make the castle’s estate their home, and which ones are just waking up for spring.

Tread carefully as you go, snake's head fritillary blossom at Easter time, with delicate nodding pink-and-purple or white flower heads.
