I'm afraid that the people who live in what we would think of as crowded places are all looking for a bit of space hence our local beaches where the seals come ashore to pup are heaving with bods. A few years back, the Memsahib and I could walk across the fields and just sit quietly in the dunes with a pic-nic and watch them in perfect quietness. Now whole areas are roped off, there are wardens and a one way system for walking. I think we may be better off walking in the City of London, there is no one there. Yes Reg I'd heard about that from my stepmother who still resides in Norfolkshire  apparently the idiot visitors were getting so close to the pups that the mothers were deserting them and they were having to be picked up by the local sanctuary to be hand reared. As you say it's probably safer for your son in London Village right now, than we are in sticksville.

A local country park (Pembrey) has stayed open but with restrictions. Here’s a copy of the notification Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Office phones open 10am - 4pm
Level 4 Restrictions - Polite reminder as per Welsh Government guideline
Car Park is open for visitors with specific health or mobility issues to drive in for exercise from 6am - 6pm.
STAY HOME, PROTECT THE NHS
Please maintain social distance from other visitors and keep dogs on leads out of courtesy to other park users.
All facilities within the park will be closed
Apparently there were large numbers driving there despite a no drive to exercise instruction. I regularly go there as I can walk through the forestry adjacent for miles and not see anyone. Not been there since the driving limits in lockdown 1, 2 and now 3.Shame. I just walk the dog in the area nearby now and that is seeing bigger numbers using it, many cars in the carparks. I tend to go out early morning before the numbers increase. In lockdown 1 the carparks were closed and Police had foot patrols. Lockdown 2 and 3 with higher health issues and carparks open? Where’s the logic? Especially as a second wave was being predicted last summer.

Yesterday our frozen lake was so full of Ice Fishing folk from Denver that it reminded me of when the tide was out at Blackpool on a Bank Holiday, it's a global phenomenon.
