National Trust move is breath of fresh air – The Yorkshire Post says
Its intention to keep open the grounds of historic properties, like Fountains Abbey, Beningbrough Hall and Nostell Priory, is a breath of fresh air at a time when ‘social distancing’ – which is very different to ‘self-isolation’ – is becoming the new norm.
For while it is only right that the charity’s buildings, cafes and shops remain shut, as per official advice, the decision to maintain free access to parks and gardens is sensible if everyone follows guidance on handwashing. And it sends out another message.
