With “Stay local” guidelines coming to an end in Wales, United Kingdom, Outdoor attractions were looking forward to welcoming visitors for the first time in 13 weeks. With owners saying they were "thrilled" to return.

This relaxation of lockdown restrictions comes as the number of coronavirus cases continues to fall. But First Minister Mark Drakeford has called for people to think "carefully about where we go and why".

Despite the request to avoid unnecessary travel, from Monday there is no longer a limit to the distance people can travel. Zip World said it was "thrilled" to be reopening its north Wales sites in Bethesda and Betws-y-Coed, although some of its other attractions remain closed for now.

"Our vast outdoor spaces and the self-contained nature of our sites lend themselves naturally to socially responsible measures, meaning we can create a safe environment for locals and visitors to the area," said a spokesman for the adventure company.

Staff at the National Botanic Garden of Wales at Llanarthne, Carmarthenshire, which celebrated its 20th birthday during lockdown, said they were confident about safety.

"Huge thanks to all our members, visitors, staff, volunteers, friends and everyone for sticking with us through these strange and difficult times," they said.

Travel restrictions were introduced across the UK at the start of lockdown in March, although Wales kept its travel restrictions longer than the UK government did in England.

Tourist hotspots in Wales - such as Tenby in Pembrokeshire - were preparing for an influx once the restrictions are lifted.
