People are being asked to not travel to Devon until further notice.

Visit Devon say it is due to the new lockdown measures, and say they look forward to welcoming the public back later on in the year.

Meanwhile Dartmoor National Park has urged people to remain in their local area to exercise.

Government rules say people "should not travel outside your local area" for their daily exercise.

Car parks and some toilets on Dartmoor will remain open.

Last week police issued warnings about cars blocking roads around the park.

Pictures emerged online of busy roads and snow fell on the Moors.

Motorists were finding themselves stuck as traffic grounded to a halt.
