Review of Stockeld Park

We visited today for the first time to see the win...

We visited today for the first time to see the winter illuminations, which are lovely.
A lot of effort has been put in to help visitors social distance and stay safe, hand sanitiser is available throughout the walk and signs to remind people to social distance are placed regularly around the park.
It isn't heaving with visitors and you're timed in to leave gaps between groups which gives plenty of space for people to social distance.
Unfortunately a lot of visitors either don't understand what a metre is or just don't care about social distancing. At one point when we were waiting for a family to finish at one set of lights were ended up with a family to our left, less than half a metre from us and a family over our shoulder on the other side.
This happened throughout the walk, which was a shame as the lights are lovely but the number of visitors ignoring social distancing made it quite uncomfortable.
I don't think there's any more Stockeld could do about this as they're doing lots to remind people already, hence the 4*.
