One of my kids’ favourite things to do over the Easter school holidays is to go in search of treats left by the Easter bunny. Easter egg hunts and trails are great way for us all to get some fresh air and there’s very few complaints if there’s a prize at the end. In this guide I’m sharing where to find Easter egg hunts in Devon.
To help you find the trails closest to you I’ve grouped them into National Trust egg hunts and then events happening in North Devon, West Devon, Mid-Devon, East Devon including Exeter and South Devon including Plymouth.
If you know of other egg hunts and Easter trails in Devon not mentioned here drop me a line so I can add them in.
