A Lake District forest is closed today due to high winds.
Forestry England said Whinlatter, near Keswick, will be closed today, Thursday March 12.
A yellow weather is in place, issued by the Met Office for strong winds and heavy rain for today.
Forestry England said: “Forests can be highly dangerous places during stormy weather due to risks from falling trees, flying debris, and unstable, saturated ground.
“As such we are asking you to delay your visit until the weather eases.
“We aim to reopen on Friday as soon as it is safe to do so, once our team have had the opportunity to check that the forest is safe.”
