24 December 2008
Through the holiday period, most of our offices are closed with the few exceptions shown below.
Our National Nature Reserves are open to visitors, as are the National Trails, Heritage Coasts, and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). There are endless opportunities to get outdoors and enjoy yourself during the holiday period. Why not take a healthy walk by yourself or with your family, or have a run-around and play with the children. Enjoy some fresh air, get physically active, and refresh your mind in one of the beautiful and stimulating natural places near to where you live. For ideas see:
