A festive trail will run at Carsington Water from December 17 until January 2.

Using a special map, visitors can head out on a scenic walk around the trail, helping to solve what a forgetful snowman has lost in each of the Christmas scenes! Each completed sheet receives a selection box, or a non-dairy alternative, at the end of the trail all for just £4!
