If you go down to the woods today…. You’re sure to come across a giant Red Squirrel. Maybe not quite as big as this one, but if you’re lucky you might just catch sight of one of these small endangered species.

But if you don’t manage to get a glimpse of one, why not take part in our red squirrel trail and help Cyril find the clues to his quiz.

The trail is available throughout the summer holidays. Just call into the National Trust shop in the main Aira Force car park for further details.

Our sales assistants will be happy to help.

The walk will take approximately 40m-1hr, depending on how good you are at spotting the clues.

The walk also takes in the magnificent Aira Force waterfall which stands at a resplendent 65ft.

Not only will you win a prize if you manage to help Cyril solve all his clues, but you will have also helped towards the conservation of the red squirrels in the Ullswater area (all proceeds from the trail go towards food for the squirrels).

Fun for all ages. So if you find yourself at a loose end these summer holidays, why not come down to Aira Force and see if you can spot Cyril.
