CHILDREN visiting fairytale Dunster Castle this Easter will be able to follow a magical trail leading to a chocolate prize.

The trail will weave its way through the gardens, where youngsters can discover more about mythical creatures lurking in the flowers and shrubs, and perhaps spot a fairy or goblin.

Ruth Ashburner, who works in the visitor services department at the castle, said: "Families can join in craft activities such as making Easter baskets and badges.

"Children will also be encouraged to dress up as fairies and goblins."

Events take place on Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7, starting at 10am and finishing around 3.30pm.

Normal admission prices apply, plus £1 per trail.
