Easter Trail at Kenwood House

The sprawling lawns and dappled woods of Kenwood House's magnificent grounds are like a secret garden just waiting to be discovered this Easter, and what better way for children to explore this idyllic landscape than on a hunt for chocolate? There's a labyrinth of tiny footpaths to scamper around winding across the estate through blossoming rhododendron bushes and small forests of flowering trees. Children can pick up a trail sheet and use it to find large wooden eggs which are scattered all around the grounds on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Once your intrepid little chocoholics have followed the clues round the lake and beyond and completed the trail they can return the sheet and collect their yummy chocolate prize. Once all the eggs have been guzzled, the whole family can enjoy wandering through this quintessential English garden. Start off in the shadow of Kenwood House's striking white facade and take in the panoramic views over London before delving into the meandering woodland paths - this is a lovely rural outing over the long weekend.
