Nature Inspired Family Activities to do on Easter Monday
To us, Easter means Spring… Warmer weather, brighter days and nature blossoming around us. So, why not explore the best nature has to offer? And there’s no better time to do it than Easter Monday after an indulgent weekend.
We’ve rounded up some of the best natural ways to enjoy the Easter bank holiday.
Visit Bluebell Woods
Springtime is the perfect time to find little sprouts of purple. Did you know half of the world’s bluebell population is found right here in the UK? That makes them extra special! Wander through a carpet of deep violet bluebells surrounded by utter peace.
It’s the most relaxing way to end the bank holiday weekend.
Enjoy A Two-Wheeled Adventure
Or head to a park near you and enjoy a few hours of cycling away. Bring a perfect picnic to enjoy on a break and take in quality time together as a family.
It’s a family-friendly way to burn off all that sugary energy from the chocolate eggs and enjoy the brighter days!
If you’re an avid biker, why not try out some mountain biking?
Become Explorers And Go Geo-caching
Head out and start exploring as a family and find a whole host of hidden geocaches spread around! It’ll get you exercising, exploring the British countryside and enjoying the best of what nature has to offer.
Enjoy the Night Sky with Stargazing
We have the solution. Head to one of the UK’s Dark Sky Parks lay back and enjoy the spectacle above you. From twinkling stars and the giant moon to maybe even catching a glimpse of a planet!
It’ll be an activity to remember and if your family loves the outdoors – why not try camping too?
So, we hope we’ve sprinkled some Easter inspiration for you! Whether you choose to head to an Easter Monday event, enjoy some fun activities or do your own thing. The bank holiday weekend is the perfect time to enjoy some family fun and make some magical memories!
