The National Trust's beloved Easter trails are back in Norfolk for 2021, here are all the properties you can visit with the kids for the trail
Blickling Estate
The grand stately home Blickling Hall was the childhood home of the Boleyn family including Henry VIII's second wife Anne Boleyn, who was born in around 1501. Although the version of the house that stands today was completed in 1616. The gardens and parkland at Blickling are open for visitors at the moment with the Easter trail taking place from 29th March.
Booking is required for Blickling Estate, then a trail can be purchased when you arrive and costs £3. Kids can head out with the family into the parkland to explore the trail before collecting a chocolate egg as a reward. 10am to 4pm (last trail 3pm).
Visit the estate of the 17th century country house Felbrigg Hall, notable for it's attractive Jacobean exterior and regal interior design. The grounds span over 520 acres with lots of walking and cycling routes to discover.
