National Trust’s Peter Rabbit trail Basildon Park, Cliveden, Hughenden and Stowe From November 23 throughout winter This winter, treat your little ones to the magic of a Peter Rabbit winter adventure activity trail around some of the National Trust’s beautiful gardens and parklands in Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire - in partnership with Penguin Random House UK. Peter Rabbit’s friends need some help finding items to see them through the colder winter months. Young nature adventurers can lend a hand to some of Beatrix Potter’s well- loved characters such as Squirrel Nutkin, Mr Jeremy Fisher and Jemima Puddleduck, and solve the clues to earn their special trail badge and certificate.

There will be nature-themed active challenges to try along the way, as well as a Peter Rabbit selfie station at the end of the trail where everyone can take a picture with their favourite storybook rabbit. Price: £2 per trail pack, plus normal admission applies. Trails will run from 23 November throughout winter – exact end date will vary between properties. Pre-booking is required to visit some National Trust places, please check the relevant property web page for details. When planning your visit, please ensure that you check local and national guidance before travelling. visit www.nationatltrust.co.uk
