THE Bolton Abbey Estate will once again stage its Twelve Days of Christmas trail.

Scenes from the classic Christmas carol - some of which are interactive - will be dotted along the trail through Strid Wood.

Spot the seven swans a-swimming, look out for real French hens, admire the nine ladies dancing or join in with the 12 drummers drumming.

And visitors can finish off their walk with a delicious hot chocolate and warm mince pie at the Cavendish Pavilion.

The trail is open from Boxing Day to Monday, January 5, between 10am to 4pm and has access for pushchairs and wheelchairs.

The estate’s admission fee of £8 per vehicle applies.
