Families across Northern Ireland looking to entertain their children and get outdoors to celebrate Easter are in for a treat, thanks to the National Trust and Cadbury.
Cadbury's has joined forces with National Trust to add a magical twist to its Easter Egg Trails; a f
un hunt to win a chocolate Easter egg.
Parents can be assured their children will enjoy a day out, with plenty of running around in the fresh air, and having lots of fun at properties throughout Northern Ireland.
The Design your own Egghead competition will give budding designers the chance to draw their very own EggHead, with the winner seeing their design on a Cadbury Easter egg in 2010, as well as receiving a family trip to Cadbury World. The company's support of the National Trust Easter Egg Trail is part of the company's 'Purple goes Green' initiative. The programme, which scooped the Green Awards Best Packaging Award 2008 for its eco-packaged 'Egghead', helps to reduce its impact on the environment.

Over Easter week rediscover the simple pleasures in life like a day out by the coast spent with family or friends, discovering a special place for the first time, a walk alone in a peaceful landscape to absorb the breathtaking views or relaxing while kids channel their energy into romping around beautiful parklands. Walk with the warden at Murlough National Nature Reserve to discover the sights and sounds of early spring, paddle around Strangford Lough or bike around the stunning Castle Ward estate. Cruise around Lough Erne in Crom's 100 year old traditional cot or enjoy a living history interpretation at Wellbrook Beetling Mill.
