Some cheeky Dartmoor Piskies have stolen our decorative Easter Eggs and hidden them around Buckland Abbey! Help us find the eggs and distract the piskies by completing the activities.
Pick up a map from Visitor Welcome to help you find all 10 activities. Along the way you can spot the missing eggs and learn how to distract piskies from causing trouble. When you've completed your quest, make sure to pick up your Easter egg at the end of the trail and don't forget to ask for a stamp!
you can choose from either a chocolate egg* or a vegan and Free From chocolate egg*. *The National Trust wants to contribute to a better world for people and nature. That is why we source our cocoa responsibly by buying from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. www.rainforest-alliance.org
