Let's be honest, the last couple of months haven't been great. This week, however, we got a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel as we can now venture further than 5km.
For me, this will mean that instead of just doing laps of my local park every day, I can now go on day trips to the beach or up the mountains. As well as that we'll soon be able to visit some of our favourite outdoor attractions again, as many of them are set to reopen on April 26. .
From petting zoos to heritage parks we've found eight great attractions across the country - so you best get booking.
