Families looking for a fun-packed, affordable activity during the Christmas holiday should make tracks for a Derbyshire beauty spot.

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!

Donna Marshall, senior visitor engagement manager at Severn Trent, said: “We know that finances are tight for a lot of people this year, and our trail offers a fantastic, affordable day out and a great way to keep the kids entertained.”
