Visitors may be dissapointed this half-term as areas of a popular play trail are closed. 

Parts of the play trail at Great Notley Country Park are currently closed for maintenance work over the half term holiday. 

Closures include sand play, the climbing forest and water play. 

Great Notley Country Park is home to Essex's longest play trail and Sky Ropes which reopened earlier this week.

The site is operating at a reduced capacity with some new rules in place, including the wearing of a face mask at reception and when being fitted with a harness.
