Officials in parts of England have warned people to stay away from beauty spots, as the first weekend since the partial easing of coronavirus lockdown measures got underway.

English police forces, tourist boards and local authorities all urged caution ahead of the weekend, when sunny conditions were forecast in many places, after some of the rules were relaxed on Wednesday.

The Peak District National Park in northern England took to Twitter to tell people not to venture there, while officials at other beauty spots told potential visitors to “think carefully” before coming.
