How to enjoy your local countryside

Welcome to fresh air and open space. Our countryside spaces are currently open for people who live locally to exercise outside. This is in line with government guidance to: 'exercise with your household (or support bubble) or one other person, this should be limited to once per day, and you should not travel outside your local area.' Local means 'stay in the village, town, or part of the city where you live'. We ask all visitors to follow guidance on social distancing to keep everyone safe.
