Happy #nationalpetday from the Peak District.

There’s plenty to keep you entertained this weekend in the Peak District, from long walks with your pooch to an Easter trail with every member of your family.

Wait for it…Hello nuthatch.

The cavity in this tree at #Longshaw is a perfect place for a nuthatch to nest.

📸Thanks to volunteer photographer, Kev Dunnington, for spotting and sharing this moment.

Come rain or shine, rangers and volunteers work in all weathers to look after places in our care and improve access.

Today is definitely a rainy workday for the team!

Swathes of blossom are adorning trees and hedgerows, and we're not the only ones appreciating these delicate blooms.

Thanks to volunteers from Freemans College, some of the woodland trail paths at Longshaw have had a makeover recently. They look great and will help visitors find the path through the wood much more easily now. 🥾🌳

📸 Thanks to Kate for these before and after photos.

Our volunteers are a talented bunch! Without them our Easter trails at Ilam and Longshaw wouldn't be the same. Thank you to everyone who made this year so special!

Easter trails will continue until Sun 14 Apr -

The bank holiday might be over but it’s not all bad news. Now the clocks have gone forward there’s an extra hour of daylight to enjoy Peak District views like these for longer.

If you're joining us to do an Easter trail today wellies are advisable. Especially if you're heading to Dovedale because the river has flooded the footpath in some areas.

A great chance for puddle jumping in between searching for Easter clues though!

🐣Egg-cited for bank holiday Easter weekend? Here's a quick tip

If you're joining our Easter trails at Ilam or Longshaw and want to avoid busier times, planning your visit earlier or later in the day will mean car parks might be a little quieter🚗

Thank you to British Mountaineering Council for all their hard work helping the ranger team plant sphagnum moss in not the kindest of weather conditions.

Beautiful blossom is starting to appear at #IlamPark . A sure sign of spring and a mark of the change of seasons.

Brilliant being part of the Muslim Hikers Ramadan Retreat in the White Peak yesterday.

Great to join the group on their guided walk before they returned to Ilam Hall YHA England & Wales for prayer and feasting when the sun went down. Thanks to Cotswold Outdoor for supporting the event
