Take advantage of Kate and Will’s kind gift of a free day off and get outdoors! If you’re not into sitting inside, glued to live footage of someone else’s shindig, the day of the Royal Wedding is the perfect time to escape, as beauty spots will be empty as would-be ramblers stay shackled to the TV. Here’s our list of where to go and what to do.

Catch the bluebells. Countryfile have a list of the best bluebell woods in the UK, 
whilst Visit Woods lets you type in your postcode and find the carpet of bluebells nearest to you.

The National Trust’s top 10 places to visit over easter are all stunners, from castles to rocky islands.

In need of inspiration? Live for the Outdoors have a fantastic destination guide. Click on the place nearest to you for walks on and off the beaten path.

If you feel more like celebrating than avoiding the big party, check out my list at Countryfileon the best ways to celebrate being British.

And if the weather doesn’t stay fine, you can always hang out indoors and prep your gear with LFTO’s handy guide to caring for boots, waterproofs and sleeping bags.
