When can we travel again in the UK?
According to new recently relaxed guidelines, people “may drive to outdoor open spaces irrespective of distance, so long as they respect social distancing guidance".
But “when traveling to outdoor spaces, it is important that people respect the rules in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland and do not travel to different parts of the UK where it would be inconsistent with guidance or regulations issued by the relevant devolved administration.”
This does stop all ideas of long weekends away or staying somewhere overnight - but it does imply that you can take your children or members of your own household out on day trips to the beach, countrysides or national parks for example. As long as you all abide by the strict social distancing rule laid out by the government.
Before you start packing up your picnic baskets there does seem to be a slight roadblock.
The National Trust, for example, has closed all its car parks as well as its parks and gardens, so until these types of restrictions change - people will have to wait a little longer before they are able to enjoy the nation's new freedoms in full.
