Horsham District’s park and countryside sites are vital during the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, but it's also incredibly important to stay safe while using them.

Under the current government restrictions, residents can leave the house for one form of exercise a day, for example a run, walk, or cycle - alone or with members of your household.

You must adhere to the Government's social distancing rules when you are using our parks and open spaces ➡️ http://orlo.uk/j5xZH
