We’ve patiently waited for the blossom to bloom so don’t let it pass you by. Take time to tune into nature around you today and enjoy the quiet serenity it brings. Share your photos using #BlossomWatch and see social media burst with all the shades of the spring season. 🌸

Starlings, and plenty of them. A flock has taken to roosting at Lizard Point in Cornwall, in gardens near the cliffs. They are a sight to behold during their murmurations - thanks to Barry Lovelock for sharing this photo.⁠ ⁠ #NationalTrustSouthWest #WildlifeWednesday

Help nature and wildlife by taking your litter home, sticking to campsites and encouraging others to do the same. Debris left behind means more time clearing up and less time spent on vital conservation work. Thanks for your help in spreading the word. #RespectProtectEnjoy

Don't travel down unless you're booked in bit.ly/2PpjZbL

Cornwall's campsites are virtually fully booked

Visit Cornwall's Malcolm Bell said that while campsites were fully booked they are operating below normal capacity with some only having 60% of normal visitors

Please be considerate when parking your vehicles at rural locations. We are aware that a lot of roads are being obstructed by parked vehicles. It’s vital that the roads are kept clear to allow access for emergency vehicles. #ThinkB4Upark #StJust #Sennen #Pendeen #Porthcurno

An unprecendented rise in fly-camping is halting conservation work and putting nature at risk, with @nationaltrust ranger teams now having to spend 20% of their time clearing up after visitors: bit.ly/39fUx18

Campers...please plan your visit and book ahead, rather than turning up with nowhere to stay overnight. ⛺ Use authorised sites 🚯 Don't leave any litter behind ✅ Always follow Covid19-secure guidance. More on this 👇👇 bit.ly/31Fv6EA

As we open our car parks in England, tourist hotspots are already under pressure due to high visitor numbers. We're therefore asking people to stay local and make the most of nature and green spaces near them this sunny bank holiday. nationaltrust.org.uk/press-r…

The Ashridge Estate is home to ancient woodlands that flood with bluebells in spring, and rolling chalk downlands aflutter with butterflies in summer. Emily Smith, countryside manager at Ashridge, brings the estate to your doorstep at 1.40pm today, on @BBCRadio4.

If you decide to go walking on the SWCP, please remain vigilant with cleanliness & keep at least 2m between you and other people, wherever it is safe to do so. Do not walk in groups and if possible, avoid sharing close spaces or travelling on public transport. #SocialDistancing

We're aiming to open many of our gardens and parks for free during this difficult time, so the nation can use open spaces to relax and refresh, while following the government’s social distancing guidance. We will be closing our houses, cafés and shops this week.
