The car parks of two West Wiltshire beauty spots have been closed after reports of large gatherings following the third national lockdown announcement.

Shearwater and Heaven’s Gate, in Warminster, are both affected by the closures with newly erected signs stating that grounds are not currently open to the public.

One local said that ‘people were being ridiculous and turning up in hundreds’.

It’s not yet clear how long the grounds will be closed, but it’s though the site restriction could remain in place until the end of the lockdown, rumoured to be in March.
