The National Trust is keeping outdoor spaces open but closing indoor areas, which means both sites will continue to welcome visitors but the visitor centre restaurant at Fountains Abbey will only be open for takeaways.

Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey will stay open during lockdown, the National Trust has confirmed.

The charity said it wanted people to enjoy outdoor spaces, but all of the trust's indoor sites will close from tomorrow.

That means the visitor centre restaurant at Fountain's Abbey will remain open for takeaway only.

But the abbey, Studley Royal water garden and the play area will remain open.

At Brimham Rocks, the kiosk will remain open to serve takeaway hot and cold drinks and snacks.

The car parks at both venues will stay open.

National Trust director-general Hilary McGrady said the well-being of visitors, staff and volunteers was its priority.

Ms McGrady said:

“We follow government advice and guidance at all times, in each of the nations we serve.
“We know how important access to green space, nature and fresh air are to people, and we’ll do everything we can to provide them during the next phase. Our priorities will remain the safety and well-being of visitors, staff and volunteers.”
