All Of The Beautiful National Trust Sites Now Open In Yorkshire

As boredom ensues, we’re all looking to the great outdoors to fulfil our days. And with a region full of beauty, we don’t have to look too far for something to do. With lockdown measures beginning to ease, the National Trust has re-opened a number of their Yorkshire sites, with more expected to gradually re-open as the country becomes safer.

Confirming the news to keen sightseers across the country, the National Trust has confirmed: “We’ve started opening some gardens and parks in England and Northern Ireland, but through advance bookings only. We have to limit numbers to make sure that visitors and staff will be safe.

“Every Friday we release new tickets for the following week, so it’s worth checking back regularly. We’re also opening more gardens and parks every week and increasing the number of tickets available for those places that are already open.

“More than 200 coastal and countryside car parks are also open. For now, all houses remain closed, as do all places in Wales in line with Welsh government advice.”

Popular beauty spots around the country have seen hundreds flocking in a bid to find something to do during lockdown, with many institutions and trusts forced to implement ticketing processes to help manage demand. Visitors are also expected to socially distance while visiting any of the Trust’s sites, sticking the the government’s current two-metre rule at all times.
