Easter Nature Trail Event at Warbstow Bury Announced

Families looking for something different this Easter holiday are being invited to explore one of Cornwall’s most historic sites as part of a special nature trail event.

Cornwall Heritage Trust is hosting the “Bunnies on the Bury Nature Activity Trail” at Warbstow Bury on Thursday 9th April, running from 11am to 3pm.

Explore a Historic Cornwall Landmark

Located in northeast Cornwall, Warbstow Bury is described as Cornwall’s second-largest and best-preserved Iron Age fort. The site has seen people gather there for thousands of years, offering visitors a chance to step back in time while enjoying the outdoors.

During the event, visitors can follow a sensory nature trail around the ring ramparts of the hillfort. Those who complete the trail will receive a special prize.

The trail costs £1 per person as a suggested donation, with proceeds going towards Cornwall Heritage Trust. More information about the event can be found on the Cornwall Heritage Trust website.

Activities for All Ages

Alongside the trail, there will be drop-in “make and take” activities taking place at Warbstow Community Village Hall, where visitors can also collect their trail packs.

There is no need to book in advance and attendees do not need to be members to take part.
