A MAJOR rally next month will close some woodland tracks at a popular tourist destination in South Lakeland.
The Grizedale Stages Rally takes place on Saturday, November 29, and right sof way will be closed while drivers race over woodland tracks and land around Grizedale Forest and Broughton Moor.
“We really have no option but to put public safety first."
Nick Thorne, Lake District National Park Authority’s access and rights of way officer.
With more than 100 cars and around 5,000 spectators expected, all footpaths bridleways and trails between Coniston Water and the Hawkshead-Sattwerthwaite Road, and two others at Broughton Moor, will be out of bounds.
The Forestry Commission will also be closing most permitted paths, cycle routes and open access land around the rally route.
