COVID-19 Update

• Moors Valley is open for outdoor recreation and exercise

  Updated 1 December 2020

  Following the announcement that we will return to a tiered system of restrictions from the 2nd of December, we are delighted to announce that Moors Valley Country Park and Forest is open, with new guidelines in place.

  If you intend to visit us, please plan ahead and follow the latest Government guidance for travel and meeting people from outside your household. You must stay at home if you have coronavirus symptoms or are self-isolating.

  Please be aware, for the safety of our visitors and staff our guidance below may change at short notice. Please keep checking this page for updates.

  Updated Guidance

  There are three simple actions we encourage all visitors to do to help keep everyone safe: –

  Hands – Please use hand sanitiser stations often, especially upon arrival at the park
  Face – Please wear a face covering where social distancing may be difficult (exemptions apply)
  Space – Please stay 2 metres apart from people you do not live with where possible, or 1 metre with extra precautions in place (such as wearing a face covering)
