A revised Countryside Code has been published to provide guidance for those visiting the countryside during the pandemic. Visitors should respect other people, consider the local community and park carefully; protect the natural environment and leave no trace of their visit; and enjoy the outdoors by planning ahead, being prepared and following advice and local signs and obeying social distancing measures.

Walking and cycling routes - please ensure you obtain full directions, and check rights of way information and current conditions prior to visit.

Plan ahead and know before you go to ensure that you #LoveDurham safely.
