North East councils cautiously reopen some beauty spots - BBC News
North East councils have responded to the easing of lockdown in England by reopening some parks but still urge visitors to respect social distancing.
The move follows the Prime Minister's announcement on Sunday that unlimited time could be spent outside exercising.
Northumberland's four country parks have reopened and Gateshead Council said the car park at Watergate Forest Park was also open.
However, all councils have urged visitors to try to limit travel plans.
