From baby animals to blooming bluebell fields, these are the top places to visit for immersion in nature, says SARAH MARSHALL
IT'S been five years since the world shut down due to Covid, yet a healthy trend that's remained is an appreciation of green spaces close to home.

The UK has plenty of countryside and coastline to explore. As the weather warms up, these places are guaranteed to put a spring in your step.
